Who knows what goes on in McBee's mind?

Other than dogs, bacon and now banana pudding? And lolcats?

And, so rumour (or tee-shirt) goes, some SH3+GWX... :o

He was diiging around in his backyard and instead of a bone he found this thread apparently:DL

Lots of Tom and Jerry cartoons, a few episodes of the "A-Team", Reese

oh, I didn't know the link was dead.:dead: All the thing the article used to talk about, I work with at work (the "new" chip technology).;)

...and regarding Moore's Law, it basically goes like this: Every two years intel comes out with a new chip design, then the next two years they shrink that design, then you go back to step one(new design):o

There was a show about a big scandal in the semiconductor industry, where some dude was claimimg that he had come up with an organic semiconductor (non-Si based, which is the current building block for all computer chips). Well, in the show about that guy, they said; "if Moore's Law were to ever end the world would stagnate(sp?) and fall into economic chaos, and go into the dark ages again.:haha: Yes, they were serious.

Ok, it's making slightly more sense. But it's ok, can't have everything.

Is this 'new' technology by any chance this 'Graphene' stuff you keep hearing about lately?

I'll tell you what all this means... A new MoBo upgrade. :damn:

I've never heard of that:

Graphene is an allotrope of carbon, whose structure is one-atom-thick planar sheets of sp2-bonded carbon atoms that are densely packed in a honeycomb crystal lattice.[1] The term graphene was coined as a combination of graphite and the suffix -ene by Hanns-Peter Boehm,[2][3] who described single-layer carbon foils in 1962.[4] Graphene is most easily visualized as an atomic-scale chicken wire made of carbon atoms and their bonds. The crystalline or "flake" form of graphite consists of many graphene sheets stacked together.
The carbon-carbon bond length in graphene is about 0.142 nanometers.[5] Graphene sheets stack to form graphite with an interplanar spacing of 0.335 nm, which means that a stack of 3 million sheets would be only one millimeter thick. Graphene is the basic structural element of some carbon allotropes including graphite, charcoal, carbon nanotubes and fullerenes. It can also be considered as an indefinitely large aromatic molecule, the limiting case of the family of flat polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
