I agree, but it seems rather odd this time around...that the move to a little more speed (if that) appears to be at quite a price. That's makes it all the harder for Intel to "lead" to a new platform. Not to mention Intel leaving more than a few loyal OEMs in the lurch. Next time around I suspect they won't be so easily led. The other difference I see is that in the past, when Intel went to a new platform, they left the competition in the dust (at least by computer standards). This time they are barely catching up, and that on a smaller process. That makes the move subject to less margin of error, so to speak. They will get it straightened out by January, I suspect. About the time AMD starts to move to .18u and faster MHZ Athlons...without the need for expensive RAMBUS to win benchmarks. So it is a horse race....not production wise but performance wise. Jim PS...I could have guessed you had a Celeron. Good value there. DO splurge on a lobster now and then! You being from Maine and all. Hate to see you just eating luttuce. <G>
