right, nothing physical can go faster than light.

Here's the real question. Will they be able to max out Crysis before reaching the limit?

Nothing with mass has broken the speed of light. yet....

SilverPotato · 10-13-09

Nothing a bit of voltage and overclocking can't cure.

I can see it now, OCN 50 years from now breaking the speed limit... Then getting a ticket from the cyber police.

Agreed, but it probably only get like 150 FPS or something. :P

I once remember a man saying that "...640k of memory is more than enough..." (Bill Gates)

These news articles will always be written and proven wrong every couple of years. 15 years from now they will be coming out with a new article stating the same BS. Human engineering knows no limits.

No, no, a million times, no.

QUESTION: I read in a newspaper that in 1981 you said, ``640K of memory should
be enough for anybody.'' What did you mean when you said this?

ANSWER: I've said some stupid things and some wrong things, but not that. No
one involved in computers would ever say that a certain amount of memory is
enough for all time.
