How much will these cost :$

@daza: I don't know if _MACBOOK_ pro's do or do not ship with a Core 2 Duo chip. I don't mind. But Blizzwatch talks about Macbooks, while you talk about Dell Pc's. And yeah, those Dells might have a Core 2 Duo ofcourse.

It will be. Prototype Core Quad CPU's are used in standard Conroe compatibile boards. A particular Gigabyte board even claims "Quad Core" compatibility as a feature. Nearly all good boards should support this though, as they are all based on the i975 chipset from Intel. At the worst you may need a bios update.

yeah this isn't news this is kina old.. plus Intel has been getting back it's market share since the Core 2 Duo has been out being the current performance king. Even older is AMD creating 4-core CPUs as well.

Yeah, 10,000 support people, not engineers.

If adding more cores to a computer and using/not using HTT sounds like the razor industry, you're on the wrong website. Cores, unlike razorblades, can dramatically increase performance in applications by adding them, as long as the applications are aware of those cores and capable of using them.Then again, I also love my triple bladed razor..

They're "Extreme Edition" models, Intel plants to market them starting at $999, but the prices will fall as they produce more Conroe cores and have enough excess volume to build the units. The good news is though that the Core 2 Extreme Edition (based on one Conroe core) will drop in price.Unless you've been waiting for Kentsfield/Clovertown (and for most of us, that means saving for it), you'll probably want to wait 6 months or so and buy them when they're cheaper.

Ya know... with the fact that a P4 takes a lot to cool it down... and the 2Duo takes even more... I would work on perfecting my technique of cooling the dang chips before I come out with something that will run hotter than them all combined. It's like M$ comin out with Vista before doin something with XP64. It takes brains... work out the issues before you come up with something new... "let's just ignore it and move on..."
