4 Articles for you all ;)

Highlights:
Seems like hyper threading is being increased to 4 threads (up from 2)
14 stage pipe ala AMD style ;) (Down from the "31+" of prescott)
Lower power usage
8 hour battery life on new centrino lappys :D
BTX seems to be dead in the water
1.2Ghz Xscale :eek:
AMD (yes they were at the Intel Developer Forum) with dual core Turion and talk of DDR2

Your thoughts?

Interesting stuff with the increasing shipment of laptops. I'm still gonna buy an AMD though. :P

Good artical. I need a new lappy myself. The one I have I quite outdated. :(

[Darakian]

What does "outdated" mean comming from you bush :P

[Bushwacker]

Well it's a P III 1,0 GHz with 128MB Ram 20 GIG HDD. Nough said :cry:

[Darakian]

Wow, I would have never seen you having such a.... "modest" laptop. Thats somthing you should use your new goldcard on :P

If you don't mind dells you can generally get ~$500 off on them.

Just wait untill dell comes up again ;)

It's not that bad Bush. Upgrade the RAM a bit and it'll run just fine!

Yeah I been thinking the same thing Trog. It only has two slots and only suports 512MB but I think it would help quite a bit. One of the features I really like about it is it has a floppy drive. If I was to get a new one though I kinda like the Toshiba. Sony is cool to. Dell isn't bad. But Ive worked on alot more of them then anything else.

Yeah 512MB would be fine. I use a Toshiba here at work. It's got a docking station so I just carry it back and forth from work.
