As you can see, This is why I see trouble on INTC's horizon. Every one of you on this thread know that for a basic office PC a P-166 or P-200 is plenty. For the home with out a gamer it is plenty for now. This is the bottom of INTC's production line.

Gee, and there was somebody telling Thomas Watson that nobody should ever need a computer, too.
In 12-18 months, a 166mHz or a 200mHz is going to be today's Pentium 75 or maybe even a 486/33.
Streaming video, internet video-telephony, 128bit graphics, etc. Predicting that everything is going to stand still for even months at a time is totally unrealistic today.
A major part of Andy Grove's master strategy to grow Intel into an even-more predominant co. is not too wait for the demand for more computing power to come about, it's for Intel to create the applications itself that will drive the need for more sophisticated computers. That and for the entire computer to come from Intel, in the process.
