that is the problem ppl that drop 1k plus into vid cards and dual core/fx55 wont the FASTEST speeds possible and as of right now Linux CANNOT compete with windows for games...the best I have seen comes withen something like 7% and unless you are on top end hardware and don't care if you take the hit then it is a BIG deal...

Intel: No "unannounced" DRM technology in Pentium D processors

Intel reacted to accusations the new dual-core Pentium D processors would integrate new technologies to prevent unauthorized copying and distribution of copyrighted materials. Intel spokeswoman Kari Skoog said the reports were "wrong" and that "there are no unannounced DRM technologies implemented in the Intel Pentium D processor or in the new Intel 945 Express chipset."
