Uhh....hate to break the news to you friend but MSFT spent 9.5 billion in 2010 alone on R&D, hell they probably have the highest R&D budget of any company out there. So yes MSFT deserves to make money off of that which they spent billions researching.

Don't get too impressed with yourself. You missed the obvious part. Look at the filename.

    It's over 3 years old, and has nothing to do with Commodore, except someone set up a crappy site with the name on it to get the Commodore fans all wound up.

    A 2007 article about the ZPC9100

    Or the real manufacturer site

    I'm not surprised it was shot with an expensive camera, the *REAL* manufacturer had those done by a professional, I'm sure.

    Any of the rest of the crap in the summary or on their site can be assumed to be absolute BS. But hey, for those interested I have a 16 core 4THz machine with 32TB RAM that's the size of a matchhead. It runs off of a patented method for gathering and storing static electricity from the air, and interfaces to all external devices (display, HID, etc) wirelessly. I'll start selling them for $1,950,000. If I sell one I can move to a nice island. If I sell 1000 I'll buy the island. Err, I mean, ummm, we'll reinvest in the company to make our products even better. :)

Until recently to get decent performance in a reasonable size you needed a huge SAN with hundreds of spindles. Now that you can get stuff like The OCZ Z-Drive, the PhotoFast G-Monster and of course the Fusion-IO IODrive Duo that's not really necessary unless you also need >6TB. The 50 microsecond latency is just bonus.

And oh, joy, there will be more. The SAN vendors who are betting their next year's revenue on those $million+ performance SAN's better get a plan B, and quick.

How does it consume volts?

the same way bits are more than bytes:
"Called GDDR (Graphics Double Data Rate) 5, the new chips can transfer data at speeds up to 6G bps (bits per second)....GDDR5 is able to move more data, up to 24G bytes per second..."

so apparently it can move 6G bits per second, but if it really feels up to it, it can kick it up a notch and move 24G bytes per second (8 bits in 1 byte = 192G bits per second).

Comprende?

Something tells me the author can't tell his volt from his watt or his bit from his byte.

P.S. sorry samsung, someone beat you to it last month

Qimonda already released GDDR5 Article from November 2: http://www.pclaunches.com/other_stuff/qimonda_gddr5_memory_now_available.php

which just regurgitates the story from

Why not link directly to the source instead of some blogger collecting Adsense? Network World has got advertising too, of course, but at least they earned it by doing the work and researching a story instead of just plagiarising it like a Picquepaille.

And for fuck's sake "installing XP on it's machine".
"It's" == "It is". Possessive is "Its".
