'Speed' . A personal computer faster than the one currently on your desk boggles a million times. Howewer, how fast can you type? But, there are applications that would benefit from that type of speed, such as image recognition, cryptography, and other problems that require enormous computing power. Personally, I'd be happy with a computer that's ready to go as soon as you turn it on. I don't anticipate being able to type a million times faster than I already do.
