Scumbria, do you know anything about self timed logic? I think it's considerably more complicated to design than clocked logic, but it's been used for computers in the (well, really distant) past I think. From the little I know, it's sort of cool, things go as fast as they can go.

Is "clock skew" a speed of light thing, or do you start seeing transmission line effects? Maybe the chips will have to start running little Rambus thingies internally.

Cheers, Dan.
