Just thought I’d give everyone the heads up on [Dell’s Core2Duo offerings](http://www.dell.com/content/products/productdetails.aspx/xpsdt_700?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs). I’m sure they’re available from other places in a whole system (as opposed to just the chip in a box, not available until August), but I just haven’t bothered to check. Let the flaming begin 😟

As the [AnandTech article](http://anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/showdoc.aspx?i=2795) says, sure does give a good reason to buy a new PC :drool: before Vista is released.

However, Kentsfield (Intel quad core chip for desktops) has been moved up from Q1 '07 to Q4 of '06. Might be worth waiting a bit for some more details on that to emerge.
