Some good points are made. With the eye candy screen mods and so on, an XP processor does little more than a 450 PII or III. It seems not much is coordinated in a PC. The CPU is too fast for the PCI bus speeds, the HDDs don't seem to sync with the other devices ... and none of the OS's seem to optimize the hardware. The application software is another bundle of variables. Yes, in a word, I think the systems of today as a whole are not "synchronized" so as to take full advantage of the various components. Perhaps the components should be more universally standardized so that the parts meld together more efficiently, to say the least. This is not what I'd call seamless technology vis-a-vis all the different items that are part of the PC of today. A brick wall of sorts has been hit. Something revolutionary is needed. Frankly, for experts in the computer field, this seems to be an exciting challenge.
