    Core 2 Duo goes on sale in Japan

    Would you wait in line for Conroe? Some stores in Japan began selling Core 2 Duo at midnight last night. At one PC store, 150 people waited in line before the midnight opening.

    the girls look great, but i dunno about the core 2 duo boxes. they need to put some money in the design department. but lol, I can't believe the hype surronding this core 2duo processor. it's getting ridicoluos.

    The question is did they come for the girls or for the chips?
    Fast computers breed slow, lazy programmers
    The price of reliability is the pursuit of the utmost simplicity. It is a price which the very rich find most hard to pay.
