They should just drop the prices monthly. . . . . :)

agreed :)

that Dothan /Centrino at 1.9-2.0ghz is going to be a screamer though probably equivalent to a P4 2.8-3ghz desktop cpu but with 1-2MB L2 cache!

Dothan will have 2MB L2 based on the 90nm process.:yummy:

Prescott's looking awful nice too though... :D

Are they gonna be only releasing 1 Prescott proc? Usually the core transitions overlap the older CPUs... so maybe we'll have 3.0 and 3.2GHz Prescotts?? Perfect for o/cing..:wave: :-)

yeah,

i have a 1.4 ghz centrino right now and it's SOOO fast with its 1 mb of L2 cache...

i can crunch seti w.u.'s pretty fast (most in the 2:20-2:30 range)
