Ann - Re: "But I'll ask it again. Are the developers really creating software that needs these ultra fast machines?? Most business software sure doesn't need that much horse power." AMD and Intel wouldn't build them if customers wouldn't buy them. Does everybody need the highest speed ? Of course not. Do a few people need that speed - of course. You can's slow down progress by a vote on "is this really necessary" - al least not in the US that I live in. (Although members of the Sierra Club may argue that one !) Progress and advancements are made by those willing - and capable - of pushing the limits of technology. To NOT push the limits is to risk - with near certainty - obsolescence. Paul
