Monaco - Re: " Intel and all of its high speed processors (could they sell them fast enough)or do the two(broadband transmission and Intel) not relate....M " The fact that the Internet bandwidth is comparatively slow - vis-a-vis Intel's CPU speeds is often tossed out as a reason that FAST CPUs are not useful, nor required. To a large extent, this is baloney. It assumes that a PC/CPU is used ONLY for internet access and that it is using only ONE BROWSER window and NOTHING ELSE ! Most people can, and do, use several browser windows at one time, and often employ other programs running concurrently with the browser. Many PCs are generally used for many other tasks that ARE CPU intensive - graphics display, database searches, spreadsheet calculations, etc. The most compelling argument for the importance of CPU speed is the rapid rate EVERY CPU MANUFACTURER (Cyrix and IDT are two exceptions) are busting their buns at INCREASING CPU SPEED. CPU performance SELLS - it is in very high demand - and NO CPU company is advertising that their new SLOWER DESIGNS will be on the market soon. Paul
