Tenchusatsu, Re: <...then pays $2000 for his latest dual-Athlon rig....> I hear you. I've come real close to building a dualie a couple of times, then decided not to. But there are times when even a slow switching multi tasker like myself gets irked at some of the hangups of the single processor Windows environment. And I'd have to say that the dual monitors would take precedence, as far as I'm concerned, over the multi-cpu environment. Re: <By the way, I wouldn't be surprised if Mr. Former Intel Employee happened to be Kapkan4u> WOW. There's a similarity of attitude, for sure. Why don't you ask Kap if that was him? Re: <trying to keep the processor speeds from getting too far in front of the processing demands of application and system software by 'stimulating the development of new applications.' >Fleck's quote, not yours. That's the problem, in a nutshell, of the PC market. It's the same one the mainframes faced in the late 70s -- that 90% of the processing could be done by cheaper boxes -- and so came Prime and DEC and the PC. And now, I feel, it's going to be the handheld. RIP, PC. tgptndr
