Thats what I was thinking when I read this Thread...

Any piss ass 500Mhz computer can run MS Office, read email and display
pictures just fine.... Speed is only for:

1 - 3D Games (most PCs are not good for gaming)
2 - 3D Applications (rendering) (even less people than gamers)
3 - 2D rendering (Photoshop)
4 - Media Encoding (Video, Audio) (Still less than gamers)

Other than that... what is speed needed for?

Programming. When you compile, and recompile, and recompile, and
recompile... the speed can really become an issue.

Of course... sorry... I didnt quite forget that one.

I'm refering to the typical HOME user... Mom, Pops and most kids.
