I will gladly "upgrade" to a x2 as soon as the price cuts hit. The intel guy will have to buy a new MB and Processor. This is why I love AMD; A bios upgrade and my 939 MB is ready for a facelift.
The only thing that makes me want to upgrade to an AMD x2 is the potential gain in running VMWare and VirtualPc. My current San Diego chip runs great and it's dirt cheap. Vista looks to be a while away and isn't much of a driving force for me. I could probably continue to run just fine for another 2yrs before upgrading. I'm content with my triple boot of Ubuntu, XP, Vista beta and I jut run virtual 2003 server.
"...Intel, on the otherhand will be leapfrogging AMD even firther as their 45nm ramp appears to be happening sooner than later"
Great, this will ensure that the upcoming Intel Netburst II processors will have 16MB of L2 Cache and running with DDR3-2800MHZ just to keep up with the previous year's AMD offering. I hope the Intel aliens hand out better monitoring equipment at that conference.
Anybody who ever compared his credentials against W's. Anybody who listened to him systematically destroy W in 3 debates and anybody who is not a fervent radical Xtian.
Since our small engineering company got bought out by a huge multinational, we lost control of our exchange server and network policies. We used to have a massive quota, but now have an 80MB limit. Everyone is perpetually running near the quota and warning emails from sysadmin are a weekly reminder. Unfortunately we have big word/visio/pdf files that get passed around a lot for various projects. Archiving can help only so much. In a day where google/yahoo freely hand out GB's, our overlords pass on a measly 80MB (120MB for managers, i think). I'm too lazy to setup individual.PST files for each of my folders. Especially since I need to access them so frequently, i know i'd get burned sooner or later. Needless to say I get my viral video clips sent to my gmail acct.
Visual Studio 2005 Team System (C#2.0)
ASP.Net 2.0.
The System.Security namespace.
C#'s partial classes.
Anonymous Methods.
Generic Types.
Garbage Collection bug fixes (allegedly).
We are in the process of making the change from.Net 1.1 to 2.0, mostly due to a decision to migrate to Visual Studio 2005 Team. Thus far, the only issues we've run into is backwards compatibility with WSE2.0. We had to migrate to Web Services Enhancements 3.0 due to issues with IIS. Aside from that, we haven't had many issues other than a few test tools (AppSight)not yet compatible with v2.0.
I wonder whether it can be viewed in Landscape mode on, say a PPC-6700 smartphone. The screenshots displayed text layout much better than IE...which will minimize expensive scrolling/. in the company bathroom stall.
"So that's why it takes two friggen minutes to turn on my cell phone!"
Well that instance of the DigCam class isn't going to destruct by itself. You should look into upgrading your phone, your phone's GC() could be optimized with a simple firmware update.

That's how my friends and I get our online CS programming assignments tested before submitting them.

this 111MPx looks like crap next to upcoming 112. Trust me.
it just seems that way after the big Pentium D migration.
...The Art of SQL Injection. tough choice.
how do you expect me to identify a processor's family when you're acting irrational?
Good point...if it is true. I thought xBox's had nVidia cards.
Ah Ha. So this is why the US Government won't use Lenovo laptops. It won't support Vista. Very interesting.
I still think LCD's are the way to go.
*ducks*
If ever there was a need for a Kabul portal of Craigslist, this is it.
Can you imagine the Rants and Raves section??
Oh! and get familiar with System Restore.
VStudio.net 2005 (minus J# and VB.Net) & MONO & MONAD. - A Pain to configure, but you should be able to write C# for your Mac.
SQL Server(or Express2005).
Media Monkey 2.x - because you want nothing to do with WinMediaPlaya. MM syncs with iPods BTW.
Google Desktop/Google Earth.
ActiveSync4.1, for lack of a better tool.

Not the flying cars that I was promised, but it's a start.

I believe all of these flavors are client OS's. There will be a Longhorn Server, which is probably Windows Server 2003 with service packs built in.
Hey it could be worse. It could've been licensed by this Dr.Savage
how else could this man make a living?

and the 3yr warranty that retail kits advertise. I forget whether the oem state 1yr or less (maybe that's the Fry's pitch).
