mas, Re: See you next year where we will compare notes as to who was being silly or not ;-).
Fair enough. If by next year Intel has to release their dual core Pentium 4 processors at 1-2GHz (half the speed of current parts, as you claim!), then I'll eat crow and admit your figures were correct. On the other hand, I won't miss the opportunity to gloat if you're wrong - and I'm damn sure you are.
