Good point, but where you would spend your money depends on what you use your computer for, and unless you have cable modem in your area substantial increase in bandwidth isn't available at any reasonable cost/benefit ratio. The phone companies are really not interested in providing better internet access, so it's up to the undercapitilized cable companies. Cable internet isn't cheap- it costs more than twice the usual phone $19.95 per month. A years cable internet service will set you back $500 to $600 per year, not including the initial installation costs. A heavy user of the internet will spend his money on cable, but a CAD engineer will want a faster computer. Most of us will want some combination of computer speed and internet speed. I agree with your premise that microprocessor speed is becoming less important. Intel investors need a breakthrough "must have" ap requiring faster computers. I usually upgrade about once a year but it will probably be 18 to 24 months between upgrades now. My P200 is still fast enough to do almost everything I want done.
