mdavey enthusiast Registered: 06/03/2003 Posts: 269 Loc: Wellingborough, UK	Amazing the way we keep trying to miniaturize this technology and increase capacity rather than trying to find a way to do proper high capacity, low cost, mass-rewritable solid-state memory. Did you read the story about the 667MHz CPU with Arm core, linked from that page? _________________________ Michael Ex-owner of stolen empeg #030102741

Oh, and I think that they ARE trying to do solid state high capacity, it's just they haven't done it yet, or at least not cheaply. _________________________ Tony Fabris

andy carpal tunnel Registered: 10/06/1999 Posts: 5916 Loc: Wivenhoe, Essex, UK	Did I read that right, does that processor really only use 0.5 watts of power when running at full speed ? _________________________ Remind me to change my signature to something more interesting someday
