IBM 500Ghz frozen chip

jumping from a couple of Ghz never feels like a lot of difference, but going to a 500ghz just might mean no more wating for tasks to finish!

The only thing is will it feel like you've got a fridge in your room to keep it cool

Bloody hell that's fast

It fast for today but in a couple of months some game will be released which requires a minimum of 501Ghz

Good if your an eskimo, and live in an igloo.

Does raising the speed to something silly like 500,000ghz mean the computer will be human like in intelligents

Amazing. Once it reaches the cost level of the end user market it'll be bottlenecked unless they're able to develop memory and media that will be able to write at sufficiently high enough speeds though.

Will put my 600Mhz pc to shame. (let alone my other 160Mhz one behind me.)
