Some of you may already heard about this but I thought I post my
comments about what I recently read about IBM making a faster CPU using
Germanium (sp?) instead of Silicone for the chip.

It suprised me because I remember from the old days that Germanium
Transistors were slow compared to Silicone Transistors.

The CPUs highest speeds were made when the CPU was supercooled, but
there was still a speed advantage of the Germanium (sp?) CPU over the
currently fast Silicone CPUs at room temperature.

Germanium (sp?) faster than Silicone, that blows my mind!
