    Yeah the name really sucks. Keeping up the Pentium name would have been a lot better since people are used to seeing it and think that it's a good processor and stuff so they will be like, "Hey, the Pentium 5 is out, let's buy it!" Now they're just gonna be like, "Wtf? What's this Duo thingy? Wasn't that for laptops?"

    Then you might want to weary of the new Intel and AMD high end procs that are said to be coming out.. there are Rumors about them adding Protected hardware circuitry.. Fortunately I know AM2 is without it atleast for now..

    The price of reliability is the pursuit of the utmost simplicity. It is a price which the very rich find most hard to pay.

    Is that the hardware based DRM that intel was rumoured to be implementing into its newer chips? I heard that a year or so ago but never knew if it was confirmed or denied.
    DFI Lanparty X48 T2r (Swiftech GTZ)
    Intel Q9450 (DD MPC)
    4 x 2GB OCZ DDR2 1000
    ATI Radeon 4870 512mb (EK-4870FC)
    2x 500gb SATAII RAID 0
    2x 200gb SATA RAID 1 (Back ups)
    2x 160gb SATA RAID 1 (Back ups)

    Yes it is called Intel's TRUSTED platform. Which I don't trust for one second.
