Highly unfortunate that they didn’t include a quad-core Intel CPU in the mix.

The new AMD CPUs look promising though, competition is always good.

Looks good, but not a huge improvement. Phenom II will be released soon. Should have similar improvements?

Linux is certainly available on many new models of PCs here in Shanghai; seems to be gaining popularity.

Our 17 year old son just bought himself a new Acer notebook with nothing on it and installed Linux on it himself. Appears to be working great. Worked wonderfully on 1G of RAM and he then upgraded to 3G and the thing really flies. The graphics are tremendous!

I may dump my MS and let him load Linux on my units.

Typing this on a 4 Core Phenom 9950 as we speak. You know, gotta have 1.21 Yottaflops to keep up with my sizzling typing.
