Good Bye Bottleneck?

I have been looking at the world of memory for a little bit now and have been finding some intriguing items. One of those is a company that is building quantum-optic memory. The company, atom chip, claims that the memory boasts high-speed data accessibility, with a high degree of reliability, non-volatility, and extremely high-density in an extremely compact size. Easy for them to say. In essence, this memory kicks tail. It is very small, very big in storage size, and reliable in storage and retrieval. Oh yeah, i forgot non-volatility. Non-volatile means that the memory will not lose its information when the power is turned off. Take a glance at that picture on the right. I did a double take because I am so used to seeing 256mb. But notice those letters after the numbers – “GB.” Um, that’s unbelievable. So, we can have a 256 GB memory device, that is non-volatile, in our computer. The first thing I thought was, “Oh my, maybe we could get rid of the hard drive!” You see, the hard drive is a mechanical device. It has parts that move and, because of that, is slow by other standards. I have been watching for a memory device that could replace the hard drive. Well, check out the SG111 and SG220. They are the first two wireless notebook computers on the market without a hard drive. And, surprise, surprise, they are powered by an atomic chip. Unbelievably, these computers get 18 hours of uninterrupted working time with one battery charge. This is six times that of other comparable laptops on the market. Because the device doesn’t use a hard drive, the computer can maintain stability under low temperatures, vibration and acceleration conditions. I wonder how long it’s going to take iPods to use these?
