  • LastExile, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1one question.
    might be a stupid one but i need to ask it quad cores act as 4 separate processors. i was looking at a site that had some specs on the extreme quad and it said 3.4 is that for each processor or is it for them all combined ?
    thanks.
  • NegativeOffset, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Damn good article Rob! I wonder how long it'll be before Quad Core MacBooks come out?
  • cmwinfrey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Most explanatory! Very well written and spoken like an expert. Can't wait for AMD's Quad Core goods...
  • distrodude, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I thought that I would be happy with my current system for another year or so, but after reading this article I realize that I probably won't be.

    Well done.
