> Microsoft will use every cycle Intel can deliver. Thanks Dale, wish I had seen the interview. I have no doubt they and many others could squeeze every bit of CPU power Intel could produce. I can't wait! Not just as an investor but as a computer user. People who think the status quo is acceptable will be amazed of what can be done once they see it. Take graphics for example, Heck, even the mainstream so called 3D video cards can't do texture mapping. Can you see the improvements a 400 Mhz PentiumII MMX2 promises? The other day I read something here on this thread from a nay sayer explaining that all he needs is an OS that syncs like UNIX so he won't lose his files when he powers down abrubtly. That's all he needs he said, not faster CPUs, backing up his claims with some erroneous Unix sync related scenario. Phew! What lack of vision! :-) I have a question, will a 400 Mhz Pentium II with a 100 Mhz bus be enough to encrypt and display a DVD video at 24 frames per second in hi resolution smoothly (without the aid of special mpeg cards of course).
