See my video blog post for a clear explanation as to why Thunderbolt is = fast enough for storage, video I/O and other stuff but nowhere near fast = enough for things like RAM and GPU (at full speed). http://bit.ly/zFo58J To Tim's point (below), I'd say you're on the money. The slow uptake is = part of it (I believe they are now working to open the market faster), = but also there are architectural issues with Thunderbolt that would = limit certain high-bandwidth functions.
