Intel is the new CPU champ. I’m so disappointed that I can change my entire motherboard with a quad-core Intel for cheaper than buying a single AMD 6400+ Dual Core. Everything else remains the same.
However just swapping AMD CPU’s saves about 15 mins of install time and perhaps another 15 mins in Windows XP installing the new motherboard drivers.
What’s interesting is that the Intel Quad-core is “Greener”, because tasks finish faster, the CPU idles more quickly.
Tom’s Hardware did a nice writeup on that.

I can see the SanDisk TV thingie catching on…if they drop it’s price to 49$. I currently download, burn, play in DVD player.
SanDisk’s solution is download, usb drive, plug in TV adapter.
I kind of like both solutions, the SanDisk being great for watch once, then delete, scenarios.
Can anyone suggest a good/trustworthy trojan scanner for Macs?
