CPU/hardware growth...

[pwnt]

I remember in 1997 or so, I had a 233 MHz Pentium computer. In 2002 ish, I got a 2GHz AMD based computer.


There's no way I could have used the 233MHz rig in 2002, but in 2008, I'm still using the 2GHz computer with Windows XP2 and other than very graphics intensive game, I can still do everything.

Did hardware stop growing significantly? I haven't really been keeping an eye on it for the past few years.

No, you're just not doing anything intensive that requires the processing power of today.

well.. I also have an outdated rig, and eventhough I don't play games, I feel it's a little laggy (I multitask a lot ).
