My dream PC

[Ryan]

Will include the new "Cell" processor that tops 4 gigahertz. Anyone know why
Intel and AMD were not the first ones and more about this new creation?

I'll bet it won't be faster than a Cray. Or the classified mainframes being
used by the NSA, CIA and DIA. Keep processor speed and system power in
perspective.

And your fream PC will be able to make cellualr calls, listen to the radio
and send photos to loved one: it'll probably run hands free and voice
operated, but won't run any of the Windows Desktop applications.

The Cell was announced 4 years ago, and were still waiting for the products
to follow!
