Re: filmscanners: That's some overclocking
Art,
PMFJI. I saw Motorola's announcement on their investor pages. Problem
that I see is that gallium arsenide chips were high current devices which
killed off development programs at DEC and others. I imagine the new
generation even in a PC will still require 500-1000W PSUs with large and
noisy fans.
regards,
Ian
