    I'd expect it to be a $1100 cpu, so yes very pricey. Heat will be high enough that this won't go in anything but the highest end DTR notebooks.

    Maybe you'll be looking at a 2.8 dual core then?

    yeah and you get a 5 minute battery life fyi. You might as well tote around your desktop along with a ups in a back pack.
    As Los Alamos director J. Robert Oppenheimer watched the demonstration, he later said that a line from the Hindu scripture the Bhagavad Gita came to mind:
    "I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."
    Test director Kenneth Bainbridge in turn said to Oppenheimer, "Now we are all sons of b**ches." wiki

    Well a 3.06 dual or 2.53 (maybe 2.66 if we are lucky) quad are your choices in the extreme category. 2.8 will be the next down from extreme and that should be fine

    Well since Excel 07 uses quads, I'd find some use for it
