Larry - Re: "Until a killer app appears that will soak up all of a Pentium's processor power, a major upgrade cycle seems unlikely to occur." Think Productivity. How much more productive can you (the generic you) be if you can work on several items at once, in parallel? That capability is enough to drive people to higher performance PCs - getting more done and/or getting work done FASTER. Think of it this way - if a person could save 15 minutes per day by using a faster PC, that 15 minutes gives rise to (15 x 5 x 52) = 3900 minutes/year = 65 hours. Assuming you earn a burdened $40/hour (salary and benefits and Social Security, etc.) that 65 hours produces a $2,600 YEARLY SAVINGS! In other words, the cost of a new high performance PC can be justified and amortized in just 12 months by improving one's speed of completing existing tasks by a mere 15 minutes per day. Paul
