I want one, and I want it now!

VIA board. It uses a bus that is similar but apparently incompatible
to the P4 bus. It also looks like they're going to use their own
socket, if they even use sockets at all. It looks like a lot of these
chips are going to be soldered right onto system boards.

Are you telling me that Pentium Ds cannot really be used to perform
useful work, Robert? I'm shocked, shocked I tell you! ;-)

THG is doing his semi-annual stress test run. You know the one where he
pits an AMD system up against an Intel, the Intel keeps overheating and
rebooting, the AMD keeps chugging along until Tom goes into the room
and trips over the powercord, etc. You know, *that* standard old test.
