"what will it be running?" Apparently first silicon, though you would like to believe it won't be there at all.
"how fast will it be running?"Fast enough to scare Scumbria?
"how will it be cooled?"Probably heat sink and fan though you would like to believe an Amana Freezer.

a) Intel is not going to roll over and play dead.
b) I can (according to local adds) buy an 800MHz HP and take it home
c) This might not be as easy as the "happy posts" of the past 4 weeks indicated.

But that's ok. I know that Willy is delayed (smoke and mirrors at the demo), that it's "broken" (cause you told us) and that AMD has a clear path to triple digit prices this year (cause everyone on this thread is sure).

I'm not sure if Scumbria is joking or not, though. My guess is that he is joking. He has a wry sense of humor. Never know, though. [Edit] Oh my, he's not joking. Just checked after I posted this and he says that he took his profits and checked out. Interesting data point.
