Intel To Redesign PC With "Grantsdale" Chip

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the a-whole-new-bus-is-coming dept.

MarkRH writes "Over at ExtremeTech, we tracked down some Intel roadmaps that discuss "Grantsdale", Intel's most important chipset in nearly a decade. Grantsdale brings PCI Express to the PC, so get ready to toss out your motherboard, AGP graphics card, and maybe a host of other components, too. Also check out our articles on the "Tejas" microprocessor, Intel's first CPU to forego pins (check out the waffle iron socket!), as well as the real reason Banias saves so much power."

    Got two lovely aluminum Pickett's right here. One full size in a leather holster, and one pocket sized. . .in a leather holster. Now *that's* geek chic.

    Someone wandered off with my K&E bamboo rule though. The bastard.

    The batteries never wear out. You can use them by candlight in a power outage. You can fully douse them with water. They even keep working when your space capsule blows a gasket and you to figure out how to get home with the air you've got left.

    Plus they keep on your toes with regards to the concept of of significant digits.

    Quake runs a bit slow though.

    Dear Father O'Day:

    Thanks for your letter. Being Catholic myself, I know exactly what you're talking about! It has always been our plan here at Apple Computer Inc to revolutionize personal computing with our high-quality and highly gay products.

    I'm happy to answer your letter by letting you know that YES we will be releasing an entire hLife ("homo-life") software line. You'll be able to recognize it in stores by the small stylized logo depicting a large cock entering a tight anus with an Apple logo on it. ("Suddenly it all comes together" indeed!).

    Anyway, I hope you and other members of our community will join us on our mission, and purchase the exciting new hLife boxed set. Only the boxed set comes with translucent cock rings!

    Our new slogan: iDick: mount me. Harder.

    Sincerely,

    Harry Rodman
