Lets hope all goes smoothly.
Something just crossed my mind:
XP Pro supports 2 CPUs doesn't it? If so, given there'll be dual HT on there, how will it handle 4 "virtual CPUs"?

Also Microsoft are going to move on a per socket license rather than per core.
The most interesting thing is the fact that the P4 Chipsets which are currently out won't support it.
Will AMD's chipsets share a similar fate? Hopefully not, infact it's looking like they won't.

Are you sure? I hope your right.Quote:

I can't see too many Intel peeps being happy at having to upgrade chipsets again...
I'm sure I recall reading about a dual core workstation demonstrated somewhere - and it was using some server/workstation board that was already in production. I cannot remember exactly though, so I can't say for sure.Quote:

Complete with multiple speeds for grilling....
Isn't this just another emegency edition though? It's the dual core dothans I'm looking forward to...

before i get my new pc, these CPUs r gunna cost like more that the best single cpus today right?
