WBMW,

re: It seems to me that speed improvements for PCs have been greater in these past 3 years than they ever have been before. In February, 1999, three years ago, Intel launched the Pentium III 500MHz. Now, only three years later, Intel has launched CPUs breaking the 2.0GHz barrier. While not exactly 4x faster, these new products have the perception to the end user (including corporate end-users) of vastly increasing productivity.

I'm not sure I agree. The majority of application use is still MS Office stuff, and I don't think the "speed" (I guess I should have said performance) is going to breathtakingly different on a 500 MHz or a 2 GHz, is it? The MHz goes up more dramatically, but the incremental increase in actual performance is probably less dramatic.

I would like to be wrong.
