Whats the most powerfullest computer known to man right now?

The human mind.

You actually make a very good point. A 1000 years ago, if you asked some rich guy to do something whether build a bridge or teach his kids math or fuck his wife (cuz he was busy fucking his much younger other wife) all he would have to do is point at one of his numerous servants to do it for him.

He probably wouldn't care to understand "processor speed or RAM" when he could have an actual person just do the work for him; EZ PZ!

But how much can a brain hold compared to the biggest memory bank in a single computer hold?

Google alone is far more vast than any single persons brain capacity.

Google is not run by a single computer though. They have tens of thousands (maybe even hundreds of thousands).

I guess so.

But humans made computers so, its kinda of a trump since if no one hits the power button, it remains non-existant.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that Google does DPM in their data centers, so the computers turn themselves on and off based on load. 😉
