While talking with a IT specialist from IBM i found out that appartently that 7Ghz cannot be broken with todays CPU's. Its got something to with the fact that 7Ghz is the speed of light and unless we use fibre optic cables we cant pass 7ghz.

someone correct me if this is wrong.

Apparently When the next Windows will come out, which codename is Longhorn the specs will be as follow:

4-6GHZ CPU
1TB HDD or higher
6-12GB RAM

That's what Bill Gates expects

Bill gates is a stupid rich guy, who doesn't know the future any more than my cat does

Look at that

Doubt it. Especially since 4GHz CPUs aren't in Intel or AMDs roadmap, it's all about dual cores for the next year
Not to get picky but we can barely pass 4GHz and thats only with watercooling (I know you can hit upwards of 6 with liquid N2 but that doesn't count)

Quick lesson in pre-physics:
1. Frequency. Defined as the rate at which something oscillates. I'm not sure if there is an implied requirement for a periodic property but im not gonna get into those details as they are outside of scope.
2. Speed. Defined as Δdistance/Δtime. There is an implied/defined understanding that this is a scalar quantity.

1. Frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz) or equivalently, cps (short for cycles-per-second)
2. Speed is measured in metres-per-second (m/s)

I think the conclusion is self-evident

I know we'd all like that kinda money but let's cut the immaturity

It will not be named Longhorn. It will come out near the end of 2006.
