Hello,

So, DB = 1 Terra hertz with 256,000 mgs of Ram [ roughly ]

I personally do not think that a standalone PC will have this power in ten
years, but I could see between 10 Ghz and 20 Ghz by 2010 quite easily, with as
much Ram as one can afford. I have heard that one Terra meg of hard drive space
will be standard on home pc's in the not to distant future due to increased
technology.
