Go up one level in this thread


Michael,

This reminds me of my good programmer/physician friend Dr Green who sung the
praises of his fast dual Pentium 66 Mhz computer with 128 Megs of RAM and a 800
Mbyte hard drive back in 1992.

If you wait another year you will have 2 Ghz machines with much faster FSBs and
tons of RAM. In ten years or less we will all be getting entry-level processors
that run at 10 Ghz.

What is the hurry?
