When will we have computers that crunch 1 WU in 5 minutes?

Just came on my mind, so what does everyone think? Right now my P4 1.6@2.3 takes about 3.5 hours to do it. According to Moore's law regular computers should be able to do it in 5 minutes in about 7.5 years. That's 2010, wow...
 
That would be nice , but i'm sure that a new client that does much more analysing would be released before that !!!
 
I would guess - never!
As we get more power in the average users hands they will make us do more work per unit.
 
Computers running at 20 GHZ have already been demonstrated recently. If I remember correctly they ran SETI as well as part of the benchmarking.
 
Does anyone remember what kind of times Tim's (Cobra) SGI boxes were doing with SETI WU's? Didn't he have to do something to slow the SGI box down because it did WU's so fast it made it appear to be a corrupt/bad WU?
