Um, yeah. If that was exactly your point, then we are sort of standing on the same rock.

You may in fact be right with the future and the 3 GHz machines, and I find it kind of scary, too.
How long has it been ago when 'alpha processors' with 400 to 500 MHz were so 'clearly superior' to those intel pentium series (with unbelievable MMX technology)?
Not any more. Oh well... development won't simply stop.
As long as university or Diablo III don't require a newer PC, I'll probably stick to my P3 500. Sufficiant for Diablo, Diablo II, Starcraft and even Quake III Arena. What can I want more? :lol:

Quote:Why spend $500 on a 2.0 GHz, when I can spend $800 on a 3.0 GHz with twice as much RAM, HD space, and video processing power? For just over half the cost, extra, I virtually double my gains, and inveritable triple or even quadruple the lasting power of my machine. And all it cost me was, what, an extra two days pay? A few hours of overtime here and there?puzzled me a bit. Sorry 'bout that.
