    Oh, but it sounds so much cooler then saying "Brand new product we are hoping you'll be suckers enough to buy."

    The scary thing is that I was listening to "Stuart" right now as I read your .sig. Talking about being scared

  3. 64bit vs 32bit by tonywestonuk · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    So, correct me if I am wrong, but isn't what the inquirer saying is that intel could be repackaging the xenon processor as an pentium.....

    I thought the xenon was 64 bit, and ran 32 bits under emulation much slower than current pentiums.... So, I think they may be barking up the wrong tree..

    Intel just found a way of squeezing more cache on the chip!

    I hope this Pentium 4 Extreme isn't anything like GI Joe Extreme. What a bad piece of animation that was.

    Just give me a stable processor that won't explode if it overheats.
