Paul, >>>Unfortunately, the horsepower requirements seem to be increasing as fast (or faster)than Intel can increase their CPU performance.<<< It will never be fast enough. It would be like someone saying they had too much money, or a healthy rich woman saying she couldn't be a little thinner. This doesn't happen under normal circumsstances. Five, ten, twenty years from now, we can come back and reread these pompous and ridiculous posts questioning the need for faster CPU performance. I remember way back in ancient times (1985) participating in a bid proposal for a $25M computer system and questioning (not me) whether a 5 MIPS mainframe was more than needed. Obviously we did not win. The winning proposal never made it either to completion. The winning proposal was obsolete well before the money ran out and the project dumped. As another old timer on these threads would say <eom> Mary
