Question: Intrepid Class had the same old Isolinear computer core but had bio-neural gel packs to increase response time to the LCARS panels. Is this correct?

As far as I know, the gel packs were not a part of the core, but were like processors or something scattered throughout the data transfer system in order to speed up process time and make data organization more efficient.

Or something like that.

But I guess we really don't know for sure unless a TM says somethign about it somewhere. And even then... who knows.

Here's a recent discussion that also dealt with the bioneural gel packs: http://flare.solareclipse.net/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=6;t=002005

In short, we don't what's up. What we do know is that the Intrepid's (or at least Voyager's) computer core was powerful. Episodes frequently acknowledged terraquad-range storage capabilities. And it was all supposedly in a torpedo/rocket looking thing that was easily stolen from Voyager in one of the "Leonardo DaVinci" episodes.

In that Da Vinci episode where the Computer Core was on the planet's surface, the Voyager computer reported this about it's capabilities:

- Simultaneous access to 47 million data channels
- Transluminal processing at 575 trillion calculations per nanosecond
- Operational temperature margins from 10 Kelvin to 1790 Kelvin
