To Scumbria and Thread: If this isn't too far off topic, I would appreciate comments on the future of this new silicon technology (material): --snip-- "Intel is talking about [chips running at speeds of] about 1 gigahertz," Strauss said. Silicon germanium, however, "gets you up into the 50-gigahertz range," more than 100 times faster than Intel's current top-of-the line 450-megahertz chips. "This is literally a revolutionary increase in speeds," much more significant than IBM's new copper chip technology, Strauss said.
