Re: Application power You said: Besides, I've hit a wall where no application I'm using demands more power. That's the crux of the entire matter! The application currently driving purchases of PC equipment--namely, Internet access--has no need for monster machines, nor monster hard drives either. That's why PC ASPs are falling, and why HDD demand has underperformed forecasts. IMHO. When AUI comes out, as per my killer app diatribe posted earlier, demand for both horsepower and drive space will re-emerge. I just bought and am experimenting with IBM's ViaVoice Gold speech-recogntion software. My Pentium 200MMX is having a hard time with it--I may upgrade to PII-233 just so this works better. My bet is that many others will do likewise. PX
