G, No one needs a 1000+MHz Pentium on their PC.< In a couple of years this will be cited along with "the world can absorb maybe 5 computers". Let's not forget: "Everything that can be invented has been invented." -Charles H. Duell, Commissioner, US Office of patents, 1899 "I think there is a world market for about 5 computers." -Thomas Watson, Chairman of IBM, 1943 "There is no reason for any individual to have a computer in their home." -Ken Olsen, DEC 1977

re: No one needs a 1000+MHz Pentium on their PC: I am not a luddite or minimalist. This is the 4th or 5th home PC I've bought, and I've always (up till now), bought the fastest/newest/priciest Intel CPU. My latest PC has: 21" monitor a graphics chip with more memory in it than the whole computer 2 PCs ago ethernet card cable modem the most expensive sound card and speakers Dell offers 256MB RDRAM But, my point is, I didn't get the latest/most expensive from Wintel.
