My current CPU is an Intel (the E6600, in fact), the first time since my 
486!

But that's a bit misleading, because processors with the same 
performance/price ratio will come out with different colours.  Try drawing 
on some lines of constant price/performance - it makes the chart more 
interesting...

I can't immediately think of a way of convincing M$ Excel to do that... 
It's not the most advanced plotting package ever.

Just create some more series data to add to the plot, with xy values that 
start at the origin and then go to some point far away to the upper right. 
Then change the style for these series so that it draws the connecting lines 
rather than just the data points.  Job done :-)

It's more advanced then most people think. I've just knocked up a three 
 

column sheet with price, mark, and mark/price and created a Line on 2 Ax
es  

chart plotting performance against price and m/p.

Ermm, copy and paste your graph into powerpoint, add some lines and text 
boxes, then took a screen shot, cropped it and saved it as a png...

PowerPoint, eh? I didn't know that could do rotated text... [Altough 
I'll admit I haven't actually tried that before.]

Here, this is a stock Excel chart template with data from a catalogue on  
my desk featuring some USB stick prices; should be self-explanatory.
