I don't know what they're gonna do with PC architecture. Even if we get
64-bit PCI slots, there's no way to keep up with 100Gbps -- let's not
even start with hard drive technology.

Speaking of harddrives, maybe one of you a little more in the know can
answer this for me. It seems like all the hard drive manufacturers work
so hard at coming up with faster buses. Why don't they put a 100Mbit NIC
on the HD and use ethernet to transport data from the HD to the
mainboard? Cheap, fast and easy (and even with ECC)...maybe I answered
my own question?
