>>>If Chrome becomes the "cool" way to surf the web, then "surfing the web" will now require Intel's fastest hardware - 350 MHz or faster Pentium IIs.<<< sure when Chrome is available a 350 MHz Pentium will be a 500$ computer. >>>I wonder what will happen to all those folks who feel a MediaGX or low end K6 machine is "good enough" to surf the web.<<< probably not a whole heck of alot of either good nor bad will happen to them. >>>The end result is that software, seemingly always lagging behind the hardware, will ultimately evolve into taxing to the limits ALL CPU hardware.<<< nope, when Chrome is available it won't be taxing to the limits even the slowest cpu's on sale at the time. >>>Just think - in two years, folks will be saying "Who needs a 700 MHz Willamette - my 400 MHz Pentium II is just fine for surfing the web and writing letters to mom!"<<< yup, and in 2 years a Pentium 100 will still be fine, too, for writing letters to mom and surfing the web if one has a fast web connection. Bandwidth will rule over cpu speed
