    wow, 2 years ago the top of the line was a 2.5 ghz p4. We've prgressed so little in the period of 2 years. Kinda sad, I guess moore's law isn't very applicable these days For Moores law to be at all applicable we would need cpus at least 5 ghzs today. We're only at 3.4

    I think that we could be there if the need existed, but the demands of most users don't warrent it. Why try and build a family sedan that can do 300MPH when the average driver doesn't ever go much above 70MPH?

    When the rest of the industry start creating the need for a 5GHZ machine it will not be far behind.

    However, I think it's funny that that RAM (bh-5) was cheaper and better than anything out today.
