re:Office9.x, the great killer applications that do not need any more power. I strongly disagree. I remember the relative performance of my 133mhz Pentium when I got it a year ago last Dec 31st. Although it may not specifically be the CPU it is slow now. NT is beginning to thrash and graphical it is slow with the current graphics demands of current applications. Unfortunately the motherboard is not upgradable so I may well be looking at a 400 mhz machine that is upgradable. Application developers always use whatever cpu is available. While the cost of developing software is going down the requirements of that software go up. reusable coponents (CORBA, COM etc) require lots of CPU and disk. And that trend will continue. Walt
