Jay - Re: " don't make us wait ... what is the second reason ;-)" The second (there may be others) is that knowledgeable PC users will be using there PCs for more and more demanding applications - including running 3, 4, 5 or more programs "concurrently", new functions (WinTV, Voice recognition, Optical Character Recognition, image/text scanning, etc.). Creative people are always finding new uses and applications for PCs, continually taxing the available CPU horsepower. As these ideas spread and become adopted by more general users, many PCs become over-taxed and the need - the REAL NEED - for a more powerful processor becomes self-evident. Paul
