It all depends on how many beer I've had. 
Got some stuff in a plastic box that's makes my screen turn on when I push the button on the front, cool. I think it's aliens, but I'll have to confirm with voodoo do-er on that.

That makes the assumption that most human brains are highly logical binary processing units. After watching cable network news the last decade I have my doubts.

From what I heard on a documentary a few years ago (the documentary was about building autonomous vehicles), humans process at least terrabytes of data a second, The dumbest human has a higher clock, higher QPI, millions more cores, and likely gigaterraflops more than any processor. The issue is we use it poorly. Much of our thought process goes to controlling muscle groups, then the rest goes to controlling or satisfying instincts.

This explains why some people with mental disabilities excel in certain areas. Steven Hawking is confined and can not utilize any of his muscles yet his thinking process is out of this world.

so if you do some simple math if computers dont bog down due to memory
its 6 mhz per 1 mip
so 100m mips is the equivilant of 16.6 terahz with alot of spar change
so atm computers even today are far from our processing power
even though as brad put brad put it im not so sure about how much of the power really XD

as for SSD space (since we have solid state memory type stuff) we have a big as hell approx 95 terabytes worth of space probably varies per person though

☄ Helpful
The human brain consists of about one billion neurons. Each neuron forms about 1,000 connections to other neurons, amounting to more than a trillion connections. If each neuron could only help store a single memory, running out of space would be a problem. You might have only a few gigabytes of storage space, similar to the space in an iPod or a USB flash drive. Yet neurons combine so that each one helps with many memories at a time, exponentially increasing the brain’s memory storage capacity to something closer to around 2.5 petabytes (or a million gigabytes). For comparison, if your brain worked like a digital video recorder in a television, 2.5 petabytes would be enough to hold three million hours of TV shows. You would have to leave the TV running continuously for more than 300 years to use up all that storage. The brain’s exact storage capacity for memories is difficult to calculate. First, we do not know how to measure the size of a memory. Second, certain memories involve more details and thus take up more space; other memories are forgotten and thus free up space. Additionally, some information is just not worth remembering in the first place. http://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=what-is-the-memory-capacity
