500 silver atoms doesn't sound like a lot yeah but they have to be perfectly round atoms, only 1 in 10,000 are round enough, and the process of selecting the round ones destroys the non-round ones. So thats 5 million per transistor, so if we have a Pentium with 10 million transistors, thats over an ounce of silver per CPU. It might add up.
