All, Here is a link to an editorial on the "Notebook Performance Gap", i.e., the increasing performance disparity between Intel's desktop and mobile processors: mdronline.com@3722325wfnzgl/report/editorials/edit12_06.html I found this statement interesting: "So far, IDT hasn't been able to push the C6 clock speed high enough to exceed the performance of Intel's fastest mobile parts." Although it has been discussed on this thread, it seems to me that we do not see as much emphasis on the suitability of the C6 for laptops as we might wish. Although I know next to nothing about hardware, I have the impression that the C6 is much closer to the high end in the laptop arena than in the desktop, and OEMs should be more strongly tempted to use it in laptops than in desktop systems.

I also am very close to my largest holding in IDTI and am selling other holdings to make room for more of this one, which to some here may be the biggest reason to side-step IDTI for a while. :) I wish I had placed my order at $10.375 because I feel I would have gotten a fill. By the time I sent my order, the price was already up to $10.56. We may see lower prices still the way this canine is behaving. Jackson
