Try ripping a DVD into MP4 to put on your phone.

My last computer took all night to do one movie, my new laptop, i7 quad core, does it in 15 minutes.

Closing comment of the article:

That's where AMD's Phenom X6 chips are going to be very interesting. Chances are good that X6 chips will carry a bit of a premium as well, but you can bet that they're going to be much more affordable than $999. Given AMD's current architecture, its X6 chips aren't going to compete that closely with Intel's Gulftown, but it's certainly going to be an option for those looking for a six-core at an easier-to-stomach price.

Will this new chip thingy help me play PONG any faster on my computer? Do I need a new floppy disk to load chip instructions?
