Hi Jim P., Re:<< I think what we disagree on is what large corporations are doing on the basic desktop.>> I have it from a reliable source that a large corporation in Forsyth County Georgia is just waiting to get the 100 Mhz systems bus. Also, from this same reliable source, by buying latest technology, the user does not require additional upgrades for 27 months or more. It's not the capital costs, it's the support costs. Is this simple? It is for me. Regards, Lee

There is not a significant improvement today in going from 66 to 100, and 100 is more expensive so why pay more for it. Now that's a pitiful statement. It shows you really don't understand the difference. The list of changes and feature enhancements with upgradability potential is so long I can't even begin to list them. Corporations, power users etc. are well aware and have been salivating waiting for their arrival. Here is a very simple one however. If you buy that 66FSB machine, your processor speed is limited to 333Mhz. With the 100FSB, you can upgrade your processor to 450, 550, 600, 700, 800... Mhz as needed when Intel makes them available. Jim, you are predictable... I already know what your response will be.<ggg> MEATHEAD
