    Wasn't there a processor comparison of speeds?
    Off the top of my head I think it was this or something.


    Type----Max Hz---Speed (byte/(1/1000)s
    086-----1KHz-------100
    186-----50KHz-------10
    286-----100KHz------1
    386-----100MHz----0.01
    486-----200MHz----0.001
    586-----300MHz----0.0001
    686-----500MHz----0.00005
    786-----700MHz----0.00003
    886-----900MHz----0.00002
    986-----1.8GMHz---0.00001
    1086--- 2.8GHz-----0.000009
    Xeon---7.8GHz------0.000004
    ????---20GHz-------0.0000001

    Why would we need 20GHz? Once you go over 1.2GHz & 1GB RAM it will depend on the seek time of the hard drive and how fast it writes to it. Other than that it isn't worth crap.

    I think the new 9600 RPM Drives are coming out.

    I've seen some nice 15K RPM, too expensive for my liking though

    Q's Evolution of Drives

    RPM----------Max Average Space
    1000 RPM----600MB
    3200 RPM----2GB
    5400 RPM----40GB
    7200 RPM----200GB
    9600 RPM----500GB
    11800 RPM--2TB
    14000 RPM--40TB
    16200 RPM--200TB (Largest Server Drive, I think.)

    The Future:

    18400 RPM--500TB (Any faster and it would be unstable. One nick to the drive frame could destroy it. )

    The New Holographic Drives...
    1 Omegabyte (OB, 1,000TB) Space
    Seek time at 8GHz, light-speed read/write.
    Problem is it would be size of your average computer case.
    Saw something about it on Discovery once.

    I know that. I didn't get that bit either. If I did, I wouldn't have asked...

    If it werent for hackers, we would never have invented fire. We'd be sliding around on our square wheels. Crackers, while you can say that they have raised our awarness of security issues, certainly have not pushed forward the development of new processors or hard drives. To say so is simply foolish.

    "Oh no, someone cracked Warcraft 3! I need to go and invent a 20Thz processor and 2500rps hard drive to compensate!"

    Also, Q_me... hard drive speed has nothing to do with anything unless you are reading or writing to said hard drive. Its all memory and processor speed.

    You got the concept down. Perfect example of the theory.

    Hackers don't break into computer systems though, crackers do.
