That is honestly not what I'm seeing. I don't know what "our stuff" is, in your case. When I look at what most of the organizations I work with need to run on the average desktop, I find little reason to upgrade. We're talking about the basic troika (Word, Excel, Powerpoint), Outlook, IE, and usually some sort of ERP or CRM client software. None of those usually require a whole lot of CPU power in normal use. I agree that you need to look ahead. I try to advise my employers and clients based on my best ability to see the future, and in most organizations I am seeing very little obvious reason for an upgrade cycle right now. That's not ALWAYS the case, as I've seen a couple of F100 firms where the typical desktop was still a basic Pentium at 200Mhz or lower, but those are more the exception than the rule where I've been working. mg
