AMD and Fujitsu Spin Off Static Memory Giant

prostoalex writes "AMD and Fujitsu will form a new memory company. While corporations typically form new spinoffs every time you turn around, this one is different, claims ZDNet, since it looks like AMD will be splitting into two companies, one dealing in the microprocessor market, another in memory."

    newer Athlon XPs put off more heat per area than the sun

    I didn't believe you so I actually tested it. And you're right! My Athlon 2600 XP box puts off WAYYY more heat than my Ultra 80! ;)

    It's like the Enterprise-D separating the saucer section when the warp core in engineering is about to breech.

    Sometimes it's nice to be reassured that I'm reading Slashdot. Can anybody think of geekier analogy?
