Absolutely, today's high powered systems w/ AGP will be tomorrow's sub 1000. The sub 1000 you buy today will be crap then. It doesn't change anything, the technology juggernaut will keep chuggin along. MEATHEAD

Re: "as for the business world..it doesn't care." steve, if you pay top dollar for IDC research reports, you should be reading them. Here is a snippet from the 11/13 IDC weekly update regarding the business world's view on staying ahead of the computing power curve. ...corporate users seem sufficiently impressed with the performance characteristics of the high-end PCs to buy them in quantities. Another factor promoting personal workstation sales is the "headroom" argument; to wit: even though the software is not really in place yet, it is important to get the hardware in anticipation of the future. Earlier in the year, Intel was promoting heavily its concept of "visually connected computing." Certainly, if the use of heavyweight data types (such as multimedia and videoconferencing) becomes commonplace in commercial computing, performance PCs will become the norm. Until then, corporate buyers seem receptive to higher performance and promises of things to come. MEATHEAD
