/* Written 11:48 am Jan 7, 1990 by gillies@m.cs.uiuc.edu in m.cs.uiuc.edu:comp.arch */ /* ---------- "R6000 PCs?" ---------- */ I conclude that everyone will have an R6000 (or better) in the (affordable) PC of the year 2000. /* End of text from m.cs.uiuc.edu:comp.arch */ I truly believe that the demand for faster and faster PCs will slow down quite a bit in the next few years. Personally, for nearly all PC applications, I think that a 386 system is more than enough and most of the demand comes from people who don't need the power at all, but convince themselves (or their superiors) that they need it for either ego (I need the best blah blah blah) or departmental-monies-have-not-been-fully-spent-that-quarter reasons.
