Gaming is what drives innovation in the computer industry and that won't change. The motherboard I'm buying has 2 PCI Extreme Ports to add 2 high end video cards in SLi mode. This means one video card will render the current frame, the other will render the next frame, allowing an ungodly amount of frames per second and amazing performance.

I wouldn't bet on Moore's law failing. Right now Intel, AMD, and others researchers and universities are working on Quantum computer chips. They will be an order of magnitude faster than our current chips. These chips are right around the corner.

I've actually heard the chips are already done, but the government won't allow them to be released until encryption methods are improved. The new chips would eat right through current encryption. It would normally take 30+ years even with supercomputers to break 1024 bit encryption. A Quantum chip could do it in minutes.

I'm sure if the chips are available already, the government is using them. I know the U.S. government recently purchased the world's largest solid state storage chip. It holds more than 400 terabytes. This could hold an operating system which could run anything almost instantly. Couple this with the Quantum chip and you've got a machine that would allow the government to get into anyone's computer at anytime.
