I want a quad core...

Doesn't look like that will happen any time soon.. Especially cause there is a kiddo on the way... I guess I want a kid instead of a new computer...

Don't worry Beerknurd. Soon enough your kid will be more adept at computers than you and will be overclocking your hardware purchases.

I speak from personal experience.

Good... Maybe he/she will get a job and buy his daddy some octo-cores.... Those should be pretty cheap by then...

HSN was selling a Gateway system with a Phenom tri-core processor yesterday. So they surely must be getting mainstream now.

I'll look for a way to hook the kid onto the internet and get it crunching. is it linux or windoze though? hahaha
