The thing is, now that programers know they have more space to deal with, they'll write bigger programs, and people will save larger images and videos with higher quality...In ten years a single TB hard drive will be almost useless. |
I guess that's true. But I think it's still impressive to think about.

You should focus more on a good video card then the processor when it comes to games.
Really, having a 512MB video card solves all your problems.
