Intel, AMD, IBM and all other chipmakers are doomed. In any case, that's the case if you were to believe the claims made by the Atom Chip Corporation, "which maintains it will show off a 2TB diskless notebook based on a 6.8GHz 'quantum-optical' microprocessor at next January's Consumer Electronics Show." Pictures of the notebook and various parts are available. Whether these claims hold truth is of course under debate, "but Gendlin (creator) has his patent - and more pending, apparently - and so we look forward to seeing Atom Chip's kit in the flesh at CES."

Member since:Correction: Max volume size for NTFS partitions is 2TB.

Member since:While I believe the reality of Atom Corp.'s technology is no bigger than an actual atom, NTFS does indeed support very large volume sizes. Take a look:
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/Windows/XP/all/res...
Theoretically, it can support ~256TB with a cluster size of 64KB. Using a more common cluster size of 4KB gives you a max volume size of ~16TB. However, the maximum size of a regular partition stored in a MBR is 2TB. So volumes > 2TB will only be found as "dynamic drives" (RAID, etc).
Member since:NTFS can handle 2TB

It's my understanding that NTFS only supports hard drive partitions up to 167GB... and a screenshot on AtomChip's site shows a 2TB partition.
