I need Faster access to long term storage

More CPU cores / improved parallelism is the obvious choice because you would need it to run the command and control, as well as the targeting for the "Fricken laser beam on my head." Dr. Evil's reasoning for having such a device has convinced me as to it's practicality and usefulness for a near limitless amount of uses, especially when in an "ill tempered" frame of mind.  - BRILLIANT!

I voted for "Faster access to long-term storage" because I'm old enough to have lots stored in there but I often only manage to access it long after it's relevant.
However, I would also like better indexing of all that old information. For example, I can remember a room or some other detail of a location but I can't remember where it was (even which country) or when or why I was there.

A circuit to add large numbers instantaneously (at GHz rates) is one of the smallest and simplest circuits in a microprocessor. Yet most people can't add arbitrary three-digit numbers at 1Hz, or even two-digit numbers. Why? Because we rely on slow procedural and/or long-term memory for these tasks, and because our short-term memories are truly awful. Oh, humans. What a sad bunch we are.
I wonder how drastically society would change if we could do arbitrarily complex arithmetic instantly and effortlessly.

I have these long term aspirations but my subconscious enforces its own short term instincts/fears/temptations/needs on me. I need a unit that gives me the power to override the commands of the subconscious.
Yes. I don't want x-man powers, I don't want Jedi or Sith powers, I just want to be able to use my own powers with no interruptions.

Increased short term Memory:Since the short term memory fades into the long term memory it's not clear whether his would make a noticable difference.
Faster processor speed:At least this would allow you to solve problems and be creative faster, although you might get frustrated waiting for your muscles to react!
Faster memory:Without the faster processor this is probably pointless.
More CPU cores / improve parallelism:You've probably already got several trillion processors and can multitask! What more do yoi need?
Faster acesss to long term storage:Same as faster memory.
Increased long term storage:I've never noticed a shortage! 
A more efficient OS:Seems quite efficient already!
A more feature-rich OS:I think telekinesis, telepathy and similar need additional hardware. The current OS probably does as much as it can with the existing peripherals!
A more reliable, robust and stable OS:Mine seems to recover quite well from hardware corruption!
A dual- or multi-boot system:Voluntarility become unconscious (asleep?) while someone else runs around with my body? No.
Other:Depends if you are limiting this the the brain or to the peripherals...

AFAIK the brain is already a massively parallel processor, with dedicated circuits to vision recognition, audio recognition, social interactions and language processing - amongst many other tasks including motor-control.
Fact is, we already have orders of magnitude more parallelism than most, if not all, computers.
Guess that, once again, we have to blame the master programmer for this one.
PS. I went for a more feature-rich O/S. I want plenty of new, experimental and hopefully bug-ridden features to make for an interesting life.

What would be the proper answer to alleviate my horrible migraines? I picked a more efficient OS, because I'm very much afraid of a BSOD.

Isn't that a recognised personality disorder?

Extra features? Cool! I'll install "Telekinesis 2.0" (The updated version, without that embarrassing glitch) and "Telepathy 6.3" (They added a universal translator in the last patch!)

Why?
For me, a robust and stable OS will help me to have a longer live. More reliable guard against illness.
The best CPU or Memory will be useless if i havent the defense against a new virus. My components are good enough, i want to use them as long as possible. As bether the OS is, as longer the components will work.
A bether OS may not guard me from directly hardware damage, but my OS will repair it faster

Who's marriage wouldn't be improved by increased parallelism? Then I could watch TV and not have to pause it and say "what" every time the wife asked me a question.

More and Better interaction with peripheral systems,
Particularly well-designed big-endian models.
I realize this will result in additional utilization of parent-method functionality in order to insure proper inheritance in the child processes.

"More CPU cores / improved parallelism" are useless when the algos are crappy.

This is going on my arrogant assumptions. You may have a superb reason why I'm completely wrong.

I see "more CPU cores" has more votes than "faster processor speed".
But faster processor speed is strictly more powerful than more cores - a CPU that is twice as fast is as good as two CPU's when there are at least 2 CPU-heavy tasks, but it will also help with just 1 CPU-heavy task (by far the more common scenario)
I'd even take a 1.2 times faster CPU over "double the number of cores". Mostly because it would help more with the things I typically do, but also because of the GPGPU trend - parallel tasks are moving off to the GPU so your CPU doesn't have to be good at it.

Inceased long term storage... I'd like mine increased, not ceased!!

It's a bitch getting old; things that happenned yesterday are transient memories, and those that happenned decades ago become crystal clear. Except for the names...
I can picture the faces of friends and coworkers I knew 20 - 30 years ago as clear as if they were standing in front of me now, but can't for the life of me remember their full names, or where I met them. Just last weekend, while shopping at Home Depot in Kingman, AZ, I was assisted by a man who looked so familiar and whose voice and mannerisms were so well known to me that I knew in advance every line he spoke. I knew him long ago, knew him well, but I could not recall where we spent time together until a day later when it finally dawned on me. We were friends in my past life, in Crestline, PRC, and his wife and I used to work the Sunday LA Times crossword together in the bar where she worked. That was 23 years ago, and I haven't seen either since, but I should have remembered that instantly!
I think Robert Heinlein got this one right in his Lazarus Long tales. According to Lazarus, long term memory becomes a problem of long life, because life's experiences grow linearly, but the cross-connections between the memories grow geometrically. One new experience can easily grow to 1,000 or more associative cross references, quickly absorbing all available space for storage. Now that normal people live much longer than they were designed to last, I expect to see this becoming a much larger social issue.
