Has anyone stopped to think about the fact the QUAKE SUCKS???
Moore's law cannot go on forever. We are quickly appraching a point at which things have become so small (afterall remember that Moore's law dictates that the size of components will half every 18-24 months thus allowing for twice as many components to be packed into the same space he observed from this that you could expect speeds to double but that was not part of his law) that we won't be able to make them smaller (i am of course not accounting for molecular computers, quantum computers etc. etc.). Richard P. Feynmn wrote a small paper on the limit of computers based off the fact that they are reaching the edges of physics i think it was in his book "The pleasure of finding things out" and probably in another one of his scientific books.
Don't get me wrong, i think that we will have the technolegy in a few years to render FF:TSW real-time, however, i think that people won't be able to rely on Moore's Law forever. An interesting note: attached as an addendum on Moore's Law is a short law known as Rocks Law which states that the cost of equipment to build semiconductors will double every four years. The technology may exist, but can anyone afford it with Video card prices already at $200-400???
