I'd be cautious too in making projections, but in 5 to 10 years the average
PC owner like myself may well indeed have, what today is considered exotic or
expensive, even the improbable on their desktops.

Does it sound really unreasonable that AMD and Intel will have "New" types of
chips and ram that will blow the doors off existing PC's of today?

Forgive the expression "Blow the Doors Off" , as I borrowed that from Dr.
Hyatt:)


I hate to really guess what speeds or even "New" technologies will be on our
desks by 2010!

Any bets that by that time 1Thz might be feasible?;)
