You realize that Intel (not nVidia or ATI) is the largest provider of GPUs worldwide?

Seriously... go around and you will see that most PCs have onboard video cards from Intel.

But even with optical computing, it still uses electricity, and last time I noticed, light generates heat as well so there will be some level of heat dissipation.]]>Mar 25th 2008 10:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/03/25/intel-and-microsoft-fund-20m-grant-to-reinvent-computing-where/http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/25/intel-and-microsoft-fund-20m-grant-to-reinvent-computing-where/
The second law of thermodynamics would mean that anytime you're using energy to do work it can not be 100% efficient. Any computer would generate heat. The amount of heat may be minimal but it will always be there.

i went to circuit city today and fiddled with demo systems.
all of them had over 75, sometimes over 85 processes going.
using up over a gig of memory.
come on. i don't care how hard it is, make the operating system use a few resources as possible.
