the future of performance?

ok well as i see it


if you have a 2.0ghz proccessor, and a 3.0 ghz processor

in every application today for the most part

your not going to see a difference


i think hard-drive speed is going to be a bigger statistic now a days and in the future


i would much rather have dual raptors in raid - 0


than a slightly faster (yet much more expensive) processor
because the performance gains on the drives would be great, where the proccessor would be not so




and i think this is true for joe schmoe as well

what he would notice is how long it takes him to open up his email/browser

how do you get load times faster???

faster drives


--ok im done

what do you guys think?

Well the biggest bottleneck in a pc right now is the internet connection. We are so bottlenecked by our connection speeds we don't even know it. Imagine a world where your internet connection was as fast as connecting to a device on the PCI bus. Now imagine the type of stuff we could do with that

For current or near term apps HD speed would be a great improvement though no doubt about it.

lol how true


i thought i had fairly slow cable... 1.5/256 (i believe, the upload might be lower lol)

but i went to my friends house on his 56k


ouch!!

i couldnt stand going back to 56k

Yea, I went to my friends house, and we were messing around on his internet, eventually I said forget it and left his mac.
