Elmer,The speed limit is 70.Intel's car can go 200 while Amd's car only has a top speed of 150.......so what......few people drive this fast . The cpu performance race is now in this condition, who needs it.....Few people really utilize much of thier pentium cpu so why will they want still faster cpu's????? I have a 200 mhz system and really cant see getting a pII 300 mhz it does me little good for what i do with my machine. When you start talking about CHEAPER prices then, like most good consumers, i am interested.Say about 400 or 500 bucks for a complete machine. YOu guys keep yaking away and missing the point it is entertaining. A SOBER WARNING in the next few years the CPU ASP will fall to less than 50 bucks. If Intel sells 100 million cpus at 50 bucks a pop They only gross 5 BILLION.Can you say DRAM? So bicker away over cpu's while the world moves on to more interesting technologies.Most people get what they deserve. Charlie
