Hardware is no longer my limiting factor. Software is. There's nothing I want to do that a faster CPU or GPU would help me do. (Well, there's a couple, but software is still a much bigger stumbling block for me than hardware even in those cases.)
Look at the PL progress in that Voodoo 1-5 timeframe. We started with C/C++, and ended up with C/C++ and a little bit of Java starting to creep in. That doesn't seem terribly impressive to me.
Today, if I told you I was writing a new program (and I am!), there's 10 different languages you might reasonably guess that I'd have picked. Life's way better than when everybody was constantly transistor-constrained.
