kash, I agree on some of your points, I personally tried to run my athlon at 500MHz and didn't see much difference... but when I need the speed, I want it, and quick. When I'm doing mp3 and mp4 encoding, playing games, compiling, rendering, photo-editing. My old PII333 sucks, it's slow and I hate it. And as rsi(?) was noting, I don't wan't my computer to be in the situation my PII is before 2-3 years, so I buy a GHz. a .13µ palomino with an adjustable fan would be the perfect solution, as I hate noise when browsing and reading stuff. As for your comparison with cars, note that there is no speed limit on a computer. A brand new 1980 wolkswagen Fox would do the job just a fine as a 2001 Jetta... try to run Win2000 on a PC AT ☺ ax

Kash: Every car sold is adequate to travel at speedlimit. So some folks want style. Some buy on brand name. Some buy on 0-60 speeds. Some buy on price etc. But the performance is way down the selection criteria. It is??? Well, then how do you explain all the test drives people take? Is that really necessary to evaluate the brand name? the style? the price? Or maybe, just maybe, they want a car that performs well. -fyo
