Scumbria and All, What do you think about this ($300 by year end?): Willamette to have triflingly short shelf life theregister.co.uk For all the fanfare made by Intel about its up-and-coming IA-32 processor codenamed Willamette, it has emerged that another IA-32 processor will displace it within a period of four months or so. Willamette is scheduled to appear towards the end of this year, at clock speeds rising to 1.4GHz but conversations with a number of motherboard vendors has revealed they have no plans to support it. Instead, they will wait for the next generation, codenamed Tulloch, which Intel has told them will arrive in the second quarter of next year. One of the reasons for the reluctance to adopt Willamette is that Tulloch, although essentially based on the same architecture, will have 479 pins, rather than 423 pins. It is also expected to clock in at around 1.6GHz or 1.7GHz according to sources. There will be two versions, one with a single Rambus channel and one with a dual channel, according to sources. ©

OT Scumbria Human greed is what causes capitalism. Without the endless desire for more money or power or posessions, there would be no marketplace or trade. I think your vision is biased. Or we could all go live in the mountains and meditate, and live off the hard work of others. There is a balance in everything....and to have balance does not require moving to the mts. Unfortunately we seem to have trouble maintaining a balance.....so that we have consumption getting out of control and imbalances created. The result....1800 sq ft tear downs selling for a million; SUV's in every other garage, sucking gas at a mile per gal. and farmed instead of wild salmon. I just think there is someplace in the middle between pigging out of the trough and living in the mts. Sorry that you don't agree. ted
