I just had to post that I read the other day that Intel has already begun development of a Fiberoptic Mobo and Cpu. SPAM
They estimate that not only will it run at an unnaturally low temp but also average out at about 10GB processor speed right in the beginning.

I really hope I dont get hit by a bus or die in some other way before the new computer revolution hits. :)

(Quote from intel site.)
We’re looking into faster
ways of moving data within a chip, between
chips, between chips and devices, and
between systems and subsystems in different
chassis. Probably the area with the greatest
potential for a quantum performance leap is
optical signaling at the micro level. We’re
researching building lasers into silicon to
move data between chips and devices at
fiber optic speeds,

they are developing the wrong thing, cuz "nanotubes" (carbon hexagons forming a tube in the molecular level) have been formed into transistors that can be placed so that the are around 600+ gigahertz. theoretically, they can go to several terahertz. i will get more info.

crazy! i hope that they will update us on when they plan on releasing the mobo! SPAMlooking good, when do u think that they are gonna let us get our hands on it!

IBM started doing that long ago

so is Xerox PARC

nanotubing isnt new anymore
but it sure is new to some of the people

it is gonna give us some wows
imagine having a computer as powerful as those star trek ones

Imagine SS Enterprise computer with Windows 98 on it?

Make it so!

what???

what about Bakula's ship having win98???

dont see the relevance :confused:

U'r Evilness, the computer aboard Enterprise might be using the technology mentioned by Vee_Ess.

but win98 is so irrelevant
lol

anyways...
win2230 is more like it
:lol:

U'r Evilness,

Would it be lightning fast if Win98 boot to that kind of Computer?

:rofl: I never thought of Win2230.

win98 wouldnt recognize that kind of technology anyways
MS will always make more products to sell and get more money

thats why their products are always defected in many ways
and then say that the new product has been "improved"

Ha ha ha! Dat's right u'r Evilness! I'l drink to that.
