my current computer is
dual P4 Xeon 3.06 Ghz
uhh ~180 gb worth of hdd in total (2 IDE and one chetah 15krpm scsi)
looking to put in about 1TB of hdd space for around $1200 Australian for
media storage (HDTV TiVo style stuff)
only 1gb of ram but it'll take 4 easily (dual channel goodness to boot ;->)

I personally think silicon cpus are going to max out around 12ghz then they
will grow sideways as in paralell.
all the new consoles are SMP and some of the next gen stuff is looking like
it may well have as many as 25 cpu cores in it.

some back of the envelope calculations show a massivly parallell "RISC"
based 100Ghz "computer" should work out at around $10k give or take and that
is today.

Paul was actually referring to the voltage drop through the voltage
regulator (LM317), not to allow for future demands.

But , as an aside, I was supplying a few pc's not very much short of this
spec 6 months ago to a number of clients.
But if we're looking to the future:

keeping pretty close to Moore's law with reg to processor speed....

Perhaps you meant 4Thz?
2TB RAM
100TB HDD
wireless nic- 100Gbps

and you forgot all embedded into a fabric form factor.

now that sounds about right eh ;-)

Hi Paul,
You're a man from the furture. Can you please tell me what is the spec of
the PC you're using on that year. I really what to know it because I read
from a newsletter that Microsoft's Bill Gates have recently share his view
of PC at the time about 2017.

He said that there will be over 4GHz in speed. And I think you should have
over 2GB of RAM onboard because he said so. About the HD, I think you should
have one over 100GB. Your network access must be over 100Mbps wirelessly.

Cheers,
WH Tan

    Hi, Omer.

   What are your current demands?
    If they are 1.5 A or less, you can use the LM317, adjusting the output
voltage. You must provide 3 Volts more than the desired output in the input
pin, to obtain a good regulation.
    It works well, and it is cheap ;)


     Regards,



Paul H. Castro
