that's why many many Physics research labs are working on superconductors. you get the right mix to superconductor at room temperature, or a commonly achievable temperature, and your laughing. currently they need to bathe most in liquid nitrogen to get it to super-conduct. but that's something completely off topic... NIKx, i see no real reason WHY a vacuum could not be created and then sealed inside of another vacuum. however i am only an A-level physics student, and i'm the first to say i don't know everything. however i can't really see a reason TO have two vacuums, one inside the other...

Yet portable infrared cameras have cooling systems that can get down to LN temps, so it might not be that far off.

138K? That's a lot higher than I thought.
That's about...-210 degrees F, or -134.4 Celsuis. Cold... But, theoretically, if one could get a processor to superconduct, it would have infinite clock speed, held back by the speed of light and the time it takes a transistor to change.

well no we just have to get intel or amd to do that and imagine if we could get ram, video cards and that to run like that. FEAR and Oblivion would look some god damn amazing tha way and the FPS would be like 100000000 googol plex or whatever it is called

haha and maybe then we would start to see games that are actually life-like in graphics quality, unlike all those before that have claimed to be... and simply arn't.

There is work being done on a ray-tracing processor unit that should blow the current GPUs out of the water in terms of performance.

The August issue of Scientific American has an article on it. I can't find the issue at the moment, or I'd tell you specifically who's building it.

well I like reading those science magazines so I might pick it up.
