    Yep, this is the ultimate computer, but there is a hugh price attached on this baby.
    BTW the new 3 Ghz Quad-core processor are delivered in small amounts!!!

    IMAO there are only very little people who really need this thing.
    There are very little programs that support multiple cores.
    Otherwise it is just waste of money, unless you have money to burn.

    I thought there was really an 8-core cpu, but it turns out to be 2 quadcores.
    This is mainly geared toward multimedia professionals who use high end applications that supports multiple cores processing.
    Intel is developing an 80 cores cpu that will be available in 5 years.

    It's even worse, the quadcores are infact 2 duocores clued on each other.
    The real Intel quadcores will come some where next year.

    Correction, Intel created a processor prototype with 80 cores.
    They still have to decide if they will take it into production
