As a system designer, I don't believe I've ever seen the types of advancements we are witnessing on the hardware front. Here is just a simplified sampling of core technology boosts: Technology Today 1998 1999/2000 Processor PentII 300Mhz PentII 450Mhz Merced 900Mhz Bus speed 66Mhz 100Mhz 150Mhz Memory 66MhzSDRAM 100MhzSDRAM 400MhzRambus Ethernet 10/100 MBit 100/1000 MBit 100/1000 MBit Video AGP 66Mhz AGP2x 133 Mhz AGP4x 266Mhz Add to that, emerging standards: USB, DVD, IEEE 1398, PCI 64bit/66Mhz, DMI 2.0, plus... Again, I can't stress enough the fact that the PC is far from a commodity and the expansion at the high end where Dell is firmly positioned is gonna be incredible. Furthermore, todays high end will be 2000's entry level which means the replacement cycle likely won't abate and may even accelerate. Who can help us out on software advancements? MEATHEAD
