Which intel CPUs are next for the chop?

[Mike Fishcake]

I'm looking to building some intel systems, but I need to use a CPU that's going to be around for the next 6 months at least. I'm sure I remember reading a list recently of the pentiums that were for the chop - anyone know?

ze 830/840 930/940 are for ze chop! by the end of this year

Hey,

With the price of the low end Core 2 Duo chips (which still totally kick Pentium ass) it would be a crime not to buy one

yeah, the e4xxx chips are going to be very nice.

[Sumanji]

I was talking about the E6300/6400 for £120-150, but yeah forgot about the E4x00 series! Hopefully they overclock like hamsters on steroids and they should fill in the £80-120 gap left behind by the Pentium 4's.

[Steve B]

plus they've got an x9 multi and 2 meg l2 cache

lookin forward to it

I read the e4s dont have vitualisation... what difference will it make?

From what i understand of VT it just allows a system to run two OS's at the same time, so it shouldn't make a difference if its there or not. The majority of home users will probably never need to or want to use it.
