What Is..

lmf · April 8th, 2008

what is your dream pc spec/reg if money can buy? eg cpu, ram, motherboard, cooling system etc

just want to view your POV so i can buy one according your opinion

Cid Highwind · April 8th, 2008

Something with the power of a system to be released 10 years from now and compatible with current software

Oh, and it has to draw only 100W max, and be cooled passively.

Well at the moment I just wish I had about 1000 dollars so that I could get an E8400 and a 8800GT 1GB along with it (and the rest of the parts obviously in the semi-prebuilt I keep on checking out on a site here in SA)

my dream pc hasn't been invented yet

Mkilbride2588 · April 8th, 2008

My Dream PC.

500-core, 500GHZ processor. Wee. 500MB Cache on it. GFX card @ 500,000MHZ / 500,000,000 MHZ speeds.

500GB of RAM.(500,000,000,000 MHZ RAM SPEED)

500 Yottabytes of storage.(Instant file transfer) Yottabyte - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

With an Operating system that is compatible with anything released, or ever to be released, and is fast and responds instantly to everything.

IF you havn't noticed, 5 is my favorite number, so these are all just an idea I had.

How about just a self-upgrading PC, which upgrades itself at no extra cost if you are going to be so surrealist...

Wrong its windows Vista

oh btw that article i linked to doesn't show all the tasty tech details. Thats how i know its random read/write are 7-10 faster than its sustained r/w.

If you wanna surf the web in 5 seconds from when you press the power ON button, a mobo came out recently with linux (i think ubuntu) built into a rom chip on the mobo fully loaded with firefox and everything else.

That sounds really enticing.

Pffft, with the processing power of one of those beasts, who needs a GPU to render graphics

? If I can afford to maintain one of those, I'll just hire a crew to whip me up a decent graphics driver
