I think all those smart guys need to stop trying to make processors faster with 24 more cores and instead focus on getting the fast permanent storage issue solved. I thought SSD was the solution for that, but all the SSDs I've seen or heard about are as slow or slower than normal hard drives. It's stupid. Ryan
