I disagree with this. In the same way that the stock market, say, builds in the "common wisdom" about the future into the current price of any stock being traded, developers are building in an expectation of future bandwidth and capacity to the products they are developing now. The overall performance gain for new hardware does not compare to the actual raw numbers, since the software is generally at or ahead of that performance curve. Is running Vista on last year's ThinkTank recommended? I think Harald's comment is apt. Justin -- Justin C.
