| I understand what he's saying, but it's not the "end" of exponential growth. It's been a long time since you needed the "latest and greatest" to browse the internet and check your e-mail, so maybe the whole exponential growth thing "ended" a long time ago in his eyes?
Most PC enthusiasts have no trouble at all maxing out the capabilities of their hardware(within the limits of software available, I guess), but we're a small segment of the market.
In the end, programs will simply continue to do more and do it with more appealing visuals. If the processing power is there, someone will use it. Flag this | Edit this post |

| As long as they're smart about sales, they don't need to drop their prices. I'd wager you'll sell more copies of a game on-sale for $29.99 from $60 than if you priced the game at $29.99 to begin with. Why? The sale price is limited, so people who might not have bought it at a regular price of $29.99 might be tempted so as to not "miss their chance".

| | I don't think the 4870 512MB should be priced to compete with the 260. The 4870 1GB and the 260 trade blows in mostly fairly even match-ups when you look at how they perform. Why price the 4870 1GB above the 260 when they're so close in performance? Flag this | Edit this post |
