Fin, I have bought several PC's since P4 came out. The presence of P4 made me view PIII as unattractive (though I did buy one.) I never seriously considered buying a P4, because it was too expensive. I doubt that the thought process I went through in the store was much different from many other buyers. Scumbria BTW: I have been maxing out my 700MHz Duron systems, running typically at 100% CPU utilization. Most of the utilization is from downloading web content.

So buying a P4 now gives you 1) a computer that's no perceptively worse on legacy applications, 2) Is vastly superior on currently available multimedia applications, and 3) will actually perform better as new software is released rather than worse. That's the very definition of current and long-term value... So then why are you currently integrating a P3 into your home network??? Has any follower of this thread actually bought a P4??? Somehow, I doubt it. THE WATSONYOUTH
