Larry, re: better rather than faster

my interpretation is that the faster the PC, the faster the compression and decompression. This results in faster transmission,
even with enhanced bandwidth. Does this sound credible to you?


Why this is generally true, today's PII can easily do this much faster than the modem can send or receive the data. I doubt that the PIII will make a detectable speed difference accessing most of today's web sites.

Perhaps the PIII can improve image quality however. You need more processor to encode the higher quality formats like MPEG II.
