However there a lot of applications to use on the net that needs more "power". Real video/audeo. Various java scripts etc. Many people will want to upgrade their boxes to one with more speed. - glenn people need not upgrade their pc's so long as the various high speed options remain outside the consumer's reach. i do not care how fast my machine is, so long as i only have a 56k or less modem, my cpu is not the bottleneck. this is why cpq and others are pushing dsl solution, without the access to greater bandwith, upgrading to play games seems less likely, without a large o/s pushing the way currently or on the horizon.
