Advantages: games and pros need the speed

Disadvantages: over hype

with all the mhz and ghz flying about and intel and amd fighting it out. Will people ever learn? you certainlly do not need the lastest PIII or Athlon for that matter for what most ppl are going to use there pcs for.

They go "shops" to buy their pcs and get ripped off by a person half their age and barley should be in that shop to give you advice. People are blattenly fooled in to thinking they need the lastest machine to work they are totally wrong.

You can easily work process and do DTP with a capable machine with a P133 not a PII or even a PIII and you especially do not need a PIII 800 or what have you not. Speed is only intended for the serious gamers and the the pro who needs it, and will make any use of it. Unless you decided to be a games nut then don't pay over the odds and get the lastest spec, a PII450 with 128ram and any 32mb card will do nicely thing its chucked with. Games, internet, anything etc so don't believe the hype you do not need a PIII witht he lastest spec.
