wbmw, re: "This gap in performance will continue to widen because processor makers get paid based on clock speed, memory makers on megabytes." What struck me as funny was that this seemed to imply that it was purely market forces which were limiting the progress of memory speeds - as if a memory which offered higher performance couldn't command a premium price. I see the slower rate of memory speed technology development as more a function of the inherent limitation in an off-CPU component (it takes time to get from place to place) and other technical limitations and not simply because the product is priced primarily based on its capacity. -PT
