Rant
Just a pet peeve of mine, when people do things like that - a little to the extreme however, but it seems like it happens. It's not like I dislike the people that do that kinda thing, it's just that it seems so extremely wasteful. |

Everyone has a way to spend their money. I guess, some people will always have to have the latest to be happy!

I would do that if I had the cash, as technology interests me greatly. No probs mate, if folks didn't buy the latest stuff, we would have higher prices overall on everything else.
I know what you mean by the incremental increases, I am waiting for the makers to use light as the connecting bus for everything. Talk about speed and bandwidth. |

You got that right. How far off do you think it is?

Quantum computers. Now those should be fast. (Utilizing more than 2 states of the electron or something like that). They've already built some really simple ones, nothing that could actually do anything, but they worked.

The funny thing is that those GF FX that will sell at 400 bucks will cost 40 within 3 years.

yeah seriously.... oh well ... Someone should make a bell curve of optimal buying times for prices of different components .... it would display the best performance for the dollar or something like that.

For myself I normally build the fastest or next to the fastest speeds available. Then I just use it for a couple of years or more. In the long run I probably spend less than the people that upgrade frequently even if they stay in the sweet spot of price/performance. I try to kepp at least one computer that is capable of running just about anything.

Fuze, quite a few folks have more money than brains.

LawyerRon is right. Some people do have more money than brains.
On the other hand I would rather somebody blow his money on a faster computer than on dope or something that might endanger others. Quantium Computer--There is a concept. Isn't that the computer that uses old coffee as a medium? CH |
