I couldn't believe this article when I read it.

Hmmmmm I have a hard time buying that. Pretty lame really. Processors have most of the same characteristics since way back in 1971 when Intel made their first.

Not that they haven't been improved, but I have never seen animal parts used before.

I doubt we are being told the whole story.

That's it! Off to the chicken farm. I could use a new processor anyway. :rolleyes:

Shakey seems to me you could always use a new cpu ... wonder why ??? ;) :lol: .... I really don't care if they make a cpu with feathers, charcoal or the nose hair from a german truck driver named Dieter .... I just hope that they'll start working on the heating issues soon. Sure we have some fast cpus around, but that's all. Everybodys been so concerned about making faster processors, and no one has given the heat issue any thought .... What good is a 3GhZ cpu if the flucker gets so hot you have to attach airplane proppelor (sp?) to cool it down. I'd take 1.5Ghz with the abilioty to stay cool (as in don't touch me or you'll get a frostbite cool ;) ) cpu anyday.

This has been another Smurfy rant, than you for your time :p

I await the day when our computers need unleaded. Pull into the gas station, open the trunk, fill it up with unleaded. Gets several thousands of CPU cycles per gallon.

I wonder how you would start it? Put a key into the ignition and try to crank the CPU over. Won't start? Bring over another equally or more powerful machine, hook up the jumper cranker, and crank it over again.

Knowing this, I wonder if super unleaded would make your computer run any better/faster?

Put jet fuel it in and watch those bits FLY!
