New circuit boards for pc's

A new circuit board using fibre optics could dramatically increase a computer's data trnsmission speed.The board has been developed by Park Hyo-Hoon, a professor at south korea's informatoin and communications university in Daejeon, and Lee Yong-Tak, a professor of Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology.
With the introduction of pentium IV chips, the data processing speed of a computer's CPU has improved dramatically, but data trnsmission is hampered by bottlenecks occurring in other parts of the circuit board.
Theese bottlenecks do not occur on the new PCB because of the use of optical fibres. With the new technology, it takes only one second to tranmit a one hour vedio clip of high-definition television, while the existing technology takes ten seconds.
