Great. Let’s hope in the future the desktops can become weightier, in other words, the total volume of the computer’s box is fully filled, instead of all those empty volumes in a typical (today’s) desktop.
That should provide much more computing powers.
If I have such a ‘filled’ desktop, I will probably use the extra computing power to run Folding@home, SETI@home and GIMPS (Great Internet Mersenne Prime Search), among other online distributed computing projects.

how-about new systems with ultra fast apu’s coupled with chips like these which replace the ram and the hard drives, so many bottlenecks go out the door, this makes me smile a bit in an otherwise slow start to a year for tech :)

I’m hoping to see that 3-d holographic cube a few years after this one.

With developments like these looks like we are definitely on track! to exascale supercomputing by the end of this decade.
