I accept that your personal needs - or just preferences - may demand that you have a computer with lots of speed, but that doesn't mean that everybody else also needs speed. Lots of people - including people who use computers constantly - don't need much speed at all.
For example: many people do little else on their computer but write text - emails, chapters for their new book, blog entries. XP with as little as 125Mb can handle this. Indeed, once booted up and with one's favourite programs loaded, such people often find it hard to tell the difference between 125Mb RAM and 1Gb RAM!
Buying unneeded speed is silly - like buying a Lamborghini so that you can buy your milk a little more quickly from the milk shop next door.
