Processor Speed

(18 * 3) != (3.5*12)
We still have another year till we need the 5.6 Ghz

Moore''s law has to do with number of transistors, not speed.
Moore''s law was in my mind merely a coincidence anyway. perhaps also it was a self fulfilling proficy, chip manufactureres strove to meet Moore''s law because it was expected of them. Besides, if you follow the COMPLETE course of the processor, we are still ahead of the curve, Moore''s law is just starting to catch up to processor speed.

OK, number of transistors, potaytoe potatoe.
The bottom line is that I had a 233 in 1997 and a 1ghz in 2000 so now I feel I''m entitiled to a 4ghz NOW!
Intel has 3.4 Ghz processors, and I wouldn''t be too surprised if they were up to 4Ghz by the end of the year, so quit yer bitchin.

You are certainly entitled to a 4ghz processor. All you need is an engineering degree and a fabrication facility. When you have these you are entitled to whatever technologies you devise.
Until then, be happy with a dual processor P4. I am
