Quad core processors

I think we should all just sit back on our asses and wait for Intel to make their Teraflop chips the standard in 3 to 5 years.

Mmmmm...

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I imagine by then all kinds of tech will be improved and made more efficient by then so it won't be such a problem. Smaller, thinner, ultra fast, and better cooled. There will be shit like silicon photonics to make things speed up. Motherboards are going to look pretty different in five years time.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Indeed. I'm quite enjoying mine. I upgraded shortly after you, Blah. =)

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Get an Intel Q6600. AMD isn't as great as it used to be. Intel is winning big time right now. As is Nvidia versus ATI.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

The top of the line E8500 for example will be $270, matching the current E6850.

Woah, what? Current top of the line Intel chips cost upwards to one thousand bucks. How are the new, faster, better chips yet to be released going to be a quarter of that right out the door? Seriously, where do you get this info?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Damn, that's nice. And in a few months that'll go down even more. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Q9550 become the new favorite.

Well I just upgraded and for what I do with my computer I have absolutely nothing to complain about with my Q6600 and 8800GTX and stupidly used 4 gigs of memory for a 32 bit Vista.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
