Paul, I can't agree with you on your comments: "This is consumer confusin brought about by not producing real performance level increases now from product to product. Compare the 486 to the Pentium then compare the classic Pentium to the MMX!" Are you kidding ? The difference between a P-75 and a DX2/66 was so great that I have junked my 486's, ALL of them, and I don't know of anyone who went from a 486 to a Pentium (any flavor) who would EVER go back. ANY Pentium is DRAMATICALLY better than a 486. And I think that once we get the BX chipset, with a 100 MHz bus, we will feel that any PII with a BX chipset is dramatically better than all but the most powerful Pentiums (the 233 MMX might hold up, but certainly not the 166's, and probably not the 200's). I won't argue that you can reach a saturation point based on what you are doing, and for many users it happens in the P-200 range, but to say that there have been no real performance increases is simply not an accurate depiction of the situation.
