But search about, its out there.

You know, the cost argument in the Athlon 64 age is pretty fucking ridiculous. AMD's high-end chips cost just as much as Intel's. I'd say right now the situation looks more like:

AMD > Intel (on the desktop)
Intel > AMD (in the laptops)

And soon, with Conroe and Merom, Intel will be better on both fronts. Then AMD really will have to find a way to push prices down, because that'll be their only big selling point.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'm looking for performance/power consumption. I want it to be fast, but I don't want it to be a damned furnace. Hence why Conroe and Merom (now dubbed Core 2 Extreme and Core 2 Duo respectively) are interesting to me.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
