But I’m 100% sure that you won’t have one of these devices installed on your computer. |

As of the time of writing, there has been another technology that has been around (on PC gaming video cards) for a year or so and it is only beginning to take some real shape now -- bump mapping.

And this innovation is accelerating and doubles every 18 months – which fits Moore’s Law. So what is it about the hard drive that makes it interesting? And most of all, why is it fast, yet still the slowest part in your computer? |

Ever since the days of the i80486, Intel has held a tight grip on the processor market with the strength of a typhoon, blowing away any competitor that dared step in its path; and, for good reason too - Intel was far bigger, far better, and far faster.
