Ken,

Good explanation of CHROME. I'm amazed to learn just how much of a computer's CPU power is occupied by the display. 95% !! (172,000,000 clicks/180,000,000 clicks).

If CHROME helps relieve this load (all of it? most of it?) does that mean that a 233 MHz PC with CHROME will have a clear performance edge over a 233 MHZ PC without CHROME. I'm referring to an edge in processing speed as well as in display refresh, etc.

Do you know if current PCs can be upgraded to CHROME? If so, would you then envision this new display technology as somewhat slowing the rush to new and faster PCs, since we can get a nice performance boost by simply upgrading what we already have?
