Yeah, I built a decent PC a couple of years ago using the 3.2MHz Pentium. I checked back a couple of months ago figuring that I'd be able to get something that would blow it away--much like the 3.2 blew away the 2.0 that preceeeded it. No such luck. There are better, faster processors at the very high end of course, but in the "upper-middle class" there's nothing to incent me to build a new machine.
Waiting for the dual core thing to mature to the point where upgrading is a no-brainer.
Same with hard disks. Got my 15,000 rpm SCSI drives that are ancient history by now, yet what's out there that's THAT much better?
