    Cool quad Cores

    I see Intel just slashed prices massively especially on the quad core Q6600's. The are now only 266.00 ea., and sold out at newegg.com I guess I'll order a couple more at this price.

    AMD really needs to get that Barcelona quad core out asp (Aug release now), and make it price comparable. I hear that they are going to release the early cores running at a low 2.0 ghz. Hopefully the internal core magic is strong enough to keep pace with the Q6600 at the lower clock rate. Only time will tell.

    Reference:
    http://hardware.slashdot.org/hardwar.../2057231.shtml

    I would love to upgrade my dual socket F to 8 total cores. That would be the bomb.

    Where the link for 266.00 because I'm getting 299.99. I would like one those. I've only had one Intel CPU and that was in 1991.

    Yeah, was just going to mention that if Intel dropped the Price to $266 then your not going to be able to buy it for that unless you buy a Gazillion of them ...

    Think I'm going to just go with what I've got for now and see what the 8 Core CPU's will be like when they come out with them & how much if any upgrading of the other Parts I have now that I'll have to do ...
