Aren't computers a wonderful thing? When I got a 100mHz, it was near the top of the line, and I loved it so. I still do. There is a concept which states that every 18 months there is a doubling of processor speed, and it has held to be true for a very long time. However, due to quantum effects, we will soon be approaching a upper limit. As a microbiologist, I have no idea what that limit might be, but would some of you be willing to hazard a guess to the max. processing speed we can expect from our computers (single processors, not multi's)? And so many chips! AMD's, and those fast Celeron chips, and Pentium III's. Assuming equal MHz ratings, are there any significant differences between these chips? Why is Celeron so much cheaper? Is there a chip which seems to be better with chess programs? Which chip is filet mignon? Which chip is merely a tasty BBQ hamburger? ---->Hungry for fast chips
