This Topic is almost the same as another posted earlier. So here is my same answer to both:

Here's my dream computer.
It'll be a laptop, not a desktop...

AMD Athlon X @ 1.0 TERA-FLOP (1,099,511,627,776 mhz)
ASUS MOBO using VIA 747 B-52 Stealth chip
IBM 500 GigaBytes Hard Drive @ 500,000 rpm
75x50x100x Pioneer DVD-RW
ASUS Mobile GeForce7 w/1 gig RDRAM @ 100.0 ghz
Crucial 10.5 GIG RD-DD-XD-ZD-SDRAM @ 100.0 ghz
Mobile Sound Blaster Super Live! Triple Platinum 12.1 Surround Sound
Built-In 1 ,000 total watt 12 piece speaker (500 watt subwoofer included on-board too!)
19" 3-D Super Flat Ultra XGA^2 Touch-Screen, Smell-Screen, and Feel-Screen with 3200x2400 resolution @ 1,000hz refresh rate and 0.01 dpi

All this enclosed in a 5 mm Titanium case with gold trimmings :smile:

Dude, a Teraflop is a trillion FLOPS. A trillion is 1,000,000,000,000. You wrote 1,000,000 (1 million, big difference!)

Well here's <A HREF="http://www.anandtech.com/mysystemrig.html?rigid=5092" target="_new">mine.</A>

I would have to update a couple of things to bring it to full "god box" status. Mainly, replace the RAID card with a 128MB Adaptec 3200S, up the DVD to 16x, up the CD-RW to 16/10/32, up the speakers to ProMedia 4.2's, up the sound to SBLive! 5.1, and up the video to a QuadroDCC (GeForce3). The thing could use a kernel update as well, I suppose, but not that badly. Not sure what printer I'd get though...

I'd also have to b!tch at my local phone service until they get some real DSL-capable phone lines in here. Or just get a T3 or the like.

I personally can't wait for a workable dual Palomino... :wink:

This topic is base on todays tech, and remember it MUST FIT ON YOUR DESK!!!!! :o)

All i want to know is what comp would you built if all the piece in the world would be compatible and that you would have like 20 000$$ to spend on it ( no futuristic cpu or unrealizable project like "the bleu-gem" )

"Sweath Dreams" ;o)

Well, in that case, my tiny dual-PPro fileserver benchmarks better than your dream comp, merely because mine will actually POST! :wink:

it didn't show the smiley on the email notification...
I was about to be reeeeal rude...
anyways, Keeper said the only catch was the memory and motherboard had to work together.
dream computer would involve a socket 370 Athlon...
