yu see them 3d mark 2k6 scores???
i thouht it was 2k5 and i was like nice, even with a crappy ati card sweet score
then look up and see is 2k6 and my eyes loose focus and get blurry i couldnt believeeee that could be a 2k6 score LOLLL wowser!!

i wonder if the final release will use two e6800 instead of 6700s

It's early, and surprising to see ES samples floating around that can hit those speeds. I think 2.93GHz isn't too much to hope for - intel is planning to bring 3.2GHz to the core 2 duo later this year. Ironic. It may clock faster than netburst soon.

Yuh know I read this article this morning but I was thinking 2007 and didn't bother to post it... duyamn talk about a dyslexic moment there GG... well I have to say it now, AMD has woken the giant and have to come better than GOOD to beat that with K8L in Q1 2007... GG... I mean I am sure they'll make quad core 4x4 or 8 cores... but last I checked Windows does only support up to wha 4? anyting about that yuh pay more for or something to that effect.
