If you notice I said "it is all a matter on what you want to do". Companies
upgrade hardware sometimes because every second waiting for a computer is
time wasted that they could have been getting work out of a employee.
Sometimes the hardware is not really needed. Note I said "sometimes". A
secretary does not need a 1ghz machine. However, someone that is doing 3d
animation needs all the horsepower they can get. Again it is all depending
on what you want to do with the machine and if you are installing software
just because it is the latest and supposedly greatest or because you really
need it.
