Hello,

I am asking everybody: If you had all the money in the world to make a
perfect system that had NO bottlenecks whatsoever and top performance,
what would you put togather?

I am hoping this to evolve into an interesting discussion.


Here is another suggestion: If you have that kind of money, then why
be ordinary.

1) For a few billions $$$; Intel/Amd will create you a nice custom CPU
- complete with self-cooling feature that included 10, 20,... cores
(cost you more if you want more cores on the die).

2) For a few billions $$$; I'm sure Asus/Abit or whoever would create a
nice MB that would work with the above CPU plus all PCI-Exp/PCI/MEM
slot and all the bell and stuff you ever want.

3) For a couple more billion $$$; ATI / Nvidia would put together a 10,
20, 30 top of the line GPU SLI together (instead of 2 SLI now a day) -
make sure the above MB has enough PCI Exp slots for let say 20 graphics
card SLI.

4) For a few millions $$$; someone will create you a nice case to fit
the MB all the above stuff; along with a nice high power PS (1,000,000
Watt)

5) For a billion or two; someone will make you a couple Tregabite of
RAM (make sure your MB support unlimited memory).

6) For a few more billion, MS will customize it's WinXP or Vista to
run in your hardware (one copy only)

7) Someone will make you a few solid-state HD (the size will depend on
how much you are willing to spend).

8) For a few millions; I'm sure someone will make you a wall of nice
flat LCD/Plasma screens for you super-dupper one of the kind PC.

That would cover all major components - the small stuff is up to you.

The question is it practical? NO
and probably no one ever crazy enough to do it (even if money is no
question).

If I have that kind of money; I wouldn't spend it on PC at all; I
would rather travell around the world in my jet or yatch and play with
women instead of sitting infront of the PC.
