c'mon, I don't agree with everything you say, but that's the point of this forum, an exchange of ideas.
anyway, in my opinion, this just shows how bad Intel has goofed right now.
they need to get the Tulatin out there NOW. It won't be mind blowing clock for clock against the A4, but it'll be better than the 1ghz roadblock they have now...
I wonder if the extra L2 cache will make the PIII.5 perform better, it should help with any latency issues of the system memory and chipset, but Intel already kicks butt in the chipset department, I don't know how much it will improve system performance.
But, I am waiting for an official word, maybe a model number? Dell Inspiron 9000? hope they use the same form factor and parts as the 8000, I may have an upgraded laptop soon... lol
