Meph: No question that fast sinking PC prices sure make upgrading more enticing, but the PC game is a big numbers game (over 100.0 million units per year) and without new applications, the percentage of people or organizations that currently feel the need for a more powerful box is not going to have a big impact IMHO. Also, those sinking prices are reducing revenues and squeezing margins, which will sooner or later smash the insane PEs attached to the tech darlings. Best, Earlie
