I think I have to agree with Sonar5 here. I already have a Google shortcut on my browser--what's a toolbar going to give me?

Ditto.

Firefox has so many nice extras that I don't need Google.

Plus - Google is swinging so far left these days - I rather not use them at all.

i see no need for a specific search engine's tool bar for Firefox at all. As of late, i've been using the Groowe search toolbar, which works with both IE and FF. This covers multiple search engines, and can be hidden or recalled with the click of a mouse. Provides all the search engine anyone would need, and doesn't clutter the display.

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) has informed motherboard makers that the unit price (for 1000 unit lots) for its Sempron CPUs will be adjusted downward in early August, with Sempron 2500+ prices dropping more than US$7, according to sources in the motherboard industry. AMD also plans to launch a dual-core Athlon 64 X2 processor on August 1 priced at US$345, a third less than its current lowest priced dual-core CPU, the sources indicated.

Socket-A Sempron 2500+ prices are expected to be cut from US$67 at present to less than US$60 in early August, sources at motherboard makers mentioned. The price gap between AMD Sempron 2500+ CPUs and Intel Celeron D 325 CPUs will expand from US$6 currently to more than US$10 after the upcoming price-cuts planned by the two chip vendors.

Intel plans to lower the prices of its Celeron D processors 5.4-13.5% on July 24.

AMD will also launch the Athlon 64 X2 3800+, which will be the cheapest dual-core processor in its Athlon 64 X2 line, according to sources at motherboard makers. The unit price of the 3800+ will be US$345, as compared to US$537 for the 4200+, AMD’s current entry-level dual-core part.
