so why chips, i mean why limit in such a way using chips, why not expand while getting smaller, i see these components as just that components, but why can't we go all in rather than a piece for this a piece for that like you have cpu,ram, video cards etc.., when i wonder will we get all this combined in one piece the size of a dime.
