That's true to a certain extent, Markus -- although it's still the rate of growth that's the concern, not necessarily the spending per se. And while processor speeds are doubling, power demands are continuing to grow as well, and that is arguably a bigger cost than buying the CPUs in the first place.

Ya but a lot of this stuff is one time expenses. That and CPU power is doubling every 18 months...
