Dr. Gordon E. Moore made a prediction in 1965
and in 2002 his prediction is well on track
To what was he referring to? and roughly what was the original quote and the present day estimate?

Im not sure but is It to do with the Intel chip doubling in power every year re-appraised to doubling every two years.

From his bio at Intel.com:

"Moore is widely known for "Moore's Law," in which he predicted that the number of transistors the industry would be able to place on a computer chip would double every couple of years. In 1995, he updated his prediction to once every two years. While originally intended as a rule of thumb in 1965, it has become the guiding principle for the industry to deliver ever-more-powerful semiconductor chips at proportionate decreases in cost."

So what besides costs (Money) did Moore calculate?
It's a Physical thing and what is roughly the present estimate? and what was the original number? Strider0 can you tell us that? The item is in your answer.
