Hello, been a while, dual CPU mobos

[Michael Laccetti]

Well, the P4 design allowed it to scale to speeds that the Athlon
XP/64/Opteron cannot.  It was a trade-off.  To get fast, they increased the
pipeline, added new instructions, etc, etc.  Hence the comparison of things
like a 2.2GHz AMD to a 3.2GHz P4.  More work per cycle vs. more cycles to
get things done.

Now, a dual core Pentium M...  That'd be sick.

	I was going to pipe in with a defence of the P4 design but after
	Lennart's email I now realize that I know nothing about computers
and
	that my only possible rebuttal is...."My cat's breath smells like
cat
	food"....I will now proceed to go home and throw my brand new
Pentium
	machine in the garbage :)
	
	Later
