<Put your head down and buy it. A dozen roses, a diamond necklace, and dinner at Chez Chic will help your wife's acceptance.> Sure makes being married and a pc owner an expensive combination. Roses. Diamonds. Dinner. What happened to the good ole days when all you had to do was buy them a new vacuum cleaner. :) Still, going back to my question that might make this a useful discussion. Do you all see new processors coming out as quickly as they did in the past, and is there a change in processors that looms on the horizon? Merced is delayed. Move to 64 bit could have been something worth waiting for. A PIII anytime soon? Like I said, I am aware the technology is always getting better, but somehow it looks like things might be slowing. Perhaps this is an illusion, or a marketing game to stabilze prices? Does Intel really want to sell a 600 mhtz computer next Feb? Ultra ATA 66 might make the disk drive faster. Is there another bus change? Faster memory? Better graphics? Maybe just a huge price drop? What could make the PC, or Lap Top of mid 99 worth waiting for?
