Processing power is key. Since receiving my new CPQ w/ Intel chip (at work), I can do several applications at once, with speed, and w/o the worry of the computer shutting down. This was a major problem until recently, and it forced the company to purchase hundreds of computers with the only worthwhile chip. My 2 cents......

Yes well I have told you intel people that that secret "killer app" that you keep dreaming about is actually the migration of all the enterprise ERP stuff down from unix/mainframe to wintel.... but you don't listen!! Remember that in addition to the mainframes being replaced with NT 5.0 wintel boxes - which is an entirely new business for intel, and a very lucrative one - you also have all the ERP companines rewriting their apps in Java which uses client processing where we never did before. But we are waiting for these things before we can actually deliver all of this: - NT 5.0 and it has to be robust - Java needs to grow up and become more scaleable - one very hot enterprise sw company is having difficulty with this - The new sql server from msft is a nice to have - ERP companies need to complete the re-write or new companies have to use Java (Ariba,Extensity are new Java companies), Oracle has rewritten some in Java, and Psft don't know about anybody else - Merced needs to come out and handle I/O in a superior manner since I/O is our big bottleneck (please dont call me on this people my CPU-designer friend told me thats why performance is such a problem for us) Anyway, this is just fwiw Michelle
