Wow!!! .89 MAry Your anecdote doesn't say much! How much memory, what operating system, what processor? It could very well be the memory. Some ppl buy the fastest processor, but run NT 4.0 and 32megs of memory. Bad bad bad! I meant to say that ppl running with a low end 266MHz processor aren't bound by the CPU for home use. They spend more time twiddling their thumbs while their 33.6 connections, IP hops, routing delays, busy remote servers(and god knows what else) causes the delay. This argument is quite invalid in an "engineer's office" environment. There the applications ARE compute bound. I know this topic of "minimal acceptable PC" has been debated to death on this thread and others so we may just have to agree to disagree. Moreover, I am long intc. best -P
