I wonder at what point they won't be able to take technology any further? There has to be a limit to what appears to be an ever increasing ability to make things better.

Man...I bet it'll be so cool to live 300 years from now...as they'll be looking back at us and laughing at our primitive crap.

I don't think there is a limit. At least, if there is, it'd get might boring after a while of the same old stuff. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

300 years from now they'll probably look at us like cavemen. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Yeah, great. If things go on as they have been, in 30 years a CPU will be the size of a grain of sand...

...and glued on top will be a heatsink the size of a house with a jumbo jet engine as the fan. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

nope cpus are going to become cubes sooner or later.
They belive that they can get better speeds if the build up.
Also they were looking into fibre optics but that very hard to work with at that size. I read that intel belived that 10 gigahertz was easly reachable if they go down the fibre optics route.

no they delayed the 64 bit until windows 64 bit edition is freely avaible because what is the point of having a super fast cpu with out being able to use it. they dont wanna do an amd and put 32bit handler code in the cpu.
