Unpredictability has nothing to do with the available computational resources. Classical systems are unpredictable or would be if they existed. Because of their sensitivity to initial conditions, posing their mere reflection. If you are off by any amount at all, that degree by which you are off is going to magnify itself for every time t equals 1,. The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle comes in here. It cannot measure things to infinite precision. Quantum theory says, never mind trying to measure it at the particular point X, it is spread out in space.
