After building systems for 8 years, I still think that the motherboard is still holding back system designs the most.
1. Why do that have to be so big and flat with fragile components waiting to be broken off?
2. Why do PCI cards need to all fit perpendicular, thus creating a large case needed.
3. Can't PCI cards be connected some other way like a modified SATA cable
4. Why are all components (MB, video cards, sound cards, etc) all flat? It just created the need for larger cases once again.
5. **** Does the CPU really need to be plugged into the MP or can it be made to plug in to the MB via a cable, thus allowing you to put the CPU somewhere else.
6. Windows XP or Vista on a chip plugged directly into the MB - Is this a concept that could work.
Why can't a MB be made so that all the components are unclosed in a shinny black box with only the necessary components and plugs available on the outside.
Any thoughts...
