Linux Hardware Looks at Core 2

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the capitalism-at-work dept.

Penguin Lover writes "Linux Hardware has just posted a new story on how Intel's new Conroe performs under Linux. From the article: 'Now is a great time to be CPU shopping because no matter which side of the isle you look on, you have great choice for both CPUs and motherboards. Along with Intel's chipset offerings, keep in mind that NVIDIA has the nForce series for Intel CPUs which would give you SLI support for all your Quake Wars and UT2007 gaming needs.'"

    Give them a little bit of credit. Maybe they live on a small island, and the only computer shops are on either side of the isle.

    I heard the Skipper is trying to pass off the boat radio as a computer at his shop, while the Professor is selling a sweet beowulf coconut cluster running linux on the other.

    Can you point to a time in recent computer history where "NOW" wasn't the best time to purchase a new rig?
