Also unless graphics card ram speeds, hard disk etc can keep up with the processor nothing's changed with a 500Ghz processor. Ithink Hdd's still the slowest hardware component in a PC build.
Well, Hdd side they can use the ultra raid linking and distributing to 24 cluster of 16 raided hard disc array...
If some smart ass can come up with a 350GHz Processor, I dun see any problem with other peripherials....
Interconnecting technology for memory module can also run in parellal like the hard disc raiding and most likely be optical.
dun think the graphic will be a concern since you dun expect to play game on this type of system...besides how fast do the card need to fool your eyes?
but a proccessor of that speed is really hard to believe...
