Actually, if I didn't have to get one now, I would wait. I'll not wait |
| 15 |
for the dual-core AMD, but I'll wait for the quad-core. After all, these |
| 16 |
dual-cores are just a transition time for the chip producers. |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
Intel just announced that they'll be coming out with the quad cores |
| 19 |
sometime in Q1 2007 (can't remember which Q it was..) |
