6.8GHz 1TB RAM and 2TB HDD Laptop?
Stuk writes "Research & development company AtomChip have announced a new 6.8GHz 1TB RAM and 2TB HDD laptop, which is "coming soon". Apparently it does not use a hard disc, instead it is based on "solid state AtomChip® optoelectronics". A new "non-volatile Quantum-Optical" type of RAM is used. Other features include voice commands, "Num Lock mode, Caps Lock mode, Scroll Lock mode". They're spoiling us." If Nintendogs has taught me anything, it's that voice recognition is awesome and should be used for everything. *cough*. And also to be skeptical of this many buzzwords.
The "CPU" photo seems to show the guts of a cheap digital camera.
I likes the Fibers Optic.
:)
Dunno, that HDD looks a lot like a CF card with a fancy sticker on it.
And since when can Windows recognize 1TB of RAM? 2TB happens to be the NTFS limit, so that I can buy, but....
I call shenanigans. But I hope I'm wrong.
Tagline from the website... "Welcome to the world of nanomicrons and beyond!" All credibility went out the window right there. Seriously, how much pot do you have to smoke to come up with stuff like this. My grandma can photoshop better than the morons at "Atom Chip Corporation." If anyone gives these people money, they deserve what they're getting - absolutely nothing.
Government's view of the economy: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving,regulate it. If it stops moving, subsidize it.
The Register has a link to the company's press release with a few pictures. The so-called "Quantum II" processor shown in the "processor compartment" bears a striking resemblance to a mobile Pentium III chip with a heat pipe and fan assembly arranged almost identically to those in Dell laptops. The various

The screenshots show Windows reporting hard drive space and RAM measured in TB.. unfortunately it's Windows XP 32-bit which can't handle more than 4GB of RAM. Clearly a hoax...

Quoth the poster:
they claim the price will be $4.50 per GB of ram
So... the box as specced will cost nine grand just for the memory?
This must be the system Thomas Watson was speasking of when he was quoted as "seeing a worldwide market for about five" of them (I'm paraphrasing, of course)

Ah, but you may still be in the market when I point out this word: lease.
Know your pads. One time pad: good for cryptography. Two timing pad: where to take your mistress.
That's a pretty good guess. The PAE (Physical Address Extentions) option on all of Intel's recent 32-bit processors allows up to 64 GB of RAM (certainly not 1 TB!) (which is 36, not 40 bits, that's probably for the EM64T).
Switching to this mode requires that you use a 4 MB page size instead of a 4 KB page... but these days that's not as crazy as it was when we had 32 MB of memory.
If you're more interested in PAE and other higher memory addressing modes, all of this information is available in the IA-32 manual available in PDF form from Intel's web site.
The more I look into this the creepier this gets
They have a website claiming this since 2002, the guy, creator even has a patent
CES? US Patent? How could he make such a big lie? Why ?

He's using a dummy-proof 5 page 49$ a year website service called "WebSiteNow". I hope that's not his whole website budget:P
