OnLive just may be ahead of its time. Over time the required ISP speed will be cheaper and more people will own compuers that can handle the requirements of OnLive. Basically, no matter how advanced games get you'll be able to play them on a relatively low end computer. You won't have to get a new machine or change parts just to get more frames in a new game.

Next year, even netbooks will be able to handle these graphics:

That's Ontario, AMD's 2011 netbook processor with a GPU die. Together with Llano and Sandy Bridge, netbooks, low-end Dell/HP desktops and cheap laptops will all be able to handle decent PC gaming graphics at 720p or above. No need for OnLive.
