About LinkBacksSuggested reading (everything you need to know)...SANTA CLARA, Calif.--Intel officially closed the books on the Pentium era on Thursday with the Core 2 Duo, its most important product launch in 13 years.
"This is not just an incremental change; this is a revolutionary leap," Intel CEO Paul Otellini said at a launch event here, held in a heavily air-conditioned tent. The last time the company held such an event at its headquarters was when it introduced the Pentium processor in 1993, a similarly important milestone in its history.

Actually, the Tuniq T120 is on serious back-order. I had to settle for my second choice, until the TT120 gets here...
Care to guess what it is?
Hint: It's pronounced 'ME-nay'...

Pretty good guess.

I only open mine up when adding RAM or reseating cards to accommodate another OS so can't really appreciate the spectra. Of course, I could have a "reverse refrigerator light" going on in my systems and never know about it.
