Re "strategy is for pushing so hard? (besides paranoia)" To induce people to buy? (Just received a PII-400 at work, PII-300 bought at home last month to replace a P-166). Just like the way car manufacturers come out with new models every now and then.

Harry - Re: "does it concern you at all that Intel cannot profit as much from these innovations because of other limiting factors? What do you think their strategy is for pushing so hard? (Besides paranoia)" You bet it concerns me! But I don't like the alternatives! Intel is trying to move the market - PUSH THE MARKET - forward in a performance "warp". If and when they accomplish this, Intel will be able to better capitalize on this. There are always chips that get designed that never make it to market. Intel's problem is that they are forced to obsolete their own products that DO GET TO MARKET - BUT THAT BEATS THE HECK OUT OF having Intel's competition obsolete Intel's products. My hope is that all this computing horsepower will ultimately produce more and better applications that make use of this new capability. Let's be thankful that Intel is controlling this technology deployment schedule. Paul
