well, I regularly use 99% of my CPU well...it stops making noise when you try and use more;)
But i am runnig a lot of Audio apps and software synths. For a lot of people that killer app has already arrived, especially if you woirk in Digital Audio

Personnally My 500Mhz processor is NOT enough.. but I am waiting until I can afford something at least 3 times faster. And Yes I do often push my CPU into the RED..
There is a growing belief that Computers don't need to get faster -this isn't exactly true... as people , more people are now wanting to do MORE than just word processing. Realtime Audio/Video is one such example, There is a growing generation of users who like to play around at home with the latest video editing tools/ Auido editing writng compostional software and more often than not this stuff will gobble up the CPU everyone else seems to be wasting.
and I assure you Its NOT Bloatware, try running a few virtual synthesizers and a 32bit reverb emulaiton in Cubase VST or Logic Audio, before ong you will be wishing you had bought that 1.2Ghz machine..
But yeah maybe I am not a typical user
Well, slight exaggeration. BUT I have on countless occasions searched for information or images or anything related to say the 1920's or 1950's or anytime BEFORE the interenet and its just Not really there.

More accurately It never did but then again I do a lot of Audio, but so do many other people. Similarly with Video...
well....
the Typical gamer/home user may be satisfied but I'm not...(and a faster hard drive doesn't mean you can make more calculations...)
