Man, think of all the instantaneous porn downloads. This could be like broadband was to 56k.

True but internal data transfers don’t even go that fast. HD’s transfer files in MB/s, standard NIC’s are 1Gb/s, the only place where that kind of transfer is 20GB/s is the caching of data from CPU registers and L1 cache to L2 cache. Main memory doesn’t even get that fast, it’s only about 8GB/s on the AMD side and less on the Intel side. PC’s need to catch up!! :headbang:
