Her son, Peter Löthberg, isn't exactly a nobody. He's pretty much a optical guru and when he speaks, many companies that matter listen. Cisco went to him to help design some of their gigabit routers. When he installed the line it wasn't put in to be just an every day connection. It was for a proof of concept, this-is-what-we-can-do type of thing. It would be the equivalent of Bill Gates installing in his parents home a data center running Windows Server...will his parents ever use it to it's full capacity? Never. Is it something cool that maybe one day everyone will have the equivalent? Yeah. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20262278 Tue, 01 Apr 2008 07:38:33 EDT Re: Stupid http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20260544 anon : Memory bandwidth is measured in bytes and network connection speeds are measured in bits.

A 1333MHz FSB with dual channel DDR2 memory supports 12,800 MBps. A 100Gbps internet connection provides 12.5GBps. 12,800 MBps is equal to 12.5GBps (1 GB = 2^10 MB).

Therefore, modern computers can use 100Gbps internet connections in terms of RAM. However, connecting the connection to the northbridge would require a 32x PCI Express 2.0 network card and a corresponding 32x PCI Express 2.0 slot, both of which are not currently available, but will be available soon. Also, theoretically speaking, a 1.6GHz 64bit processor or a 3.2GHz 32bit processor would be necessary to process data at the rate it would be received.

Of course, this ignores the fact that these are full duplex connections, which would require that computer systems be able to receive and send at 100Gbps simultaneously, something that would require FB-DIMMs and 64bit processors.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20260544 Mon, 31 Mar 2008 21:15:15 EDT Re: Stupid http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20259888 DiscardedVet :

You are looking at this from an absurdly narrow view and should be careful what you call stupid.

This is not for just one PC it can be used to stream all kinds of data, phone, TV, music, videos etc. It would 'power' you whole house neighborhood not just the PC in your basement

This is so stupid. No single computer right now could even use 100gbps, let alone 40gbps.
If every component/protocol manufacturer/developer (of any field of the modern world) waited on his counterpart to develope a product that can use the higher end product, they would ALL be waiting on each other endlessly. Advancement would come to a stall, and there would never be any further developements ... of anything!

Don't think in the box.

Since right now the cable companies have to compress thier signals for HD due to not enough bandwidth, this could help us realize un-compressed HD, and numerous channels of it.

Remember, that bandwidth isnt just for internet use. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20257569 Mon, 31 Mar 2008 12:17:20 EDT Re: Stupid http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20257408 Raptor :

You have no way to get that speed into the computer to where it would be even usable. Your hard drive, and ram can't handle anything that fast yet. Any PCI-e card you use to get it in your computer isnt going at 40gbps.
