Intel is at it again…

November 6th, 2006

Kentsfield the new quad core processor will be out just in time for Christmas (ETA 11/24). Feel free to send me one. I am very suprised it is coming out shortly after the Core 2 Duo. With the release of the Core 2 Duo and the Core 2 Quadro I think Intel will be well ahead of AMD once again. First to the market does make the difference. The Core 2 Quadro (Kentsfield) looks like it is going to be a great chip. Here are the specs:

Socket 775
Process 65nm
Clock Speed 2.66Ghz
Front Side Bus 1066Mhz
L1 Cache 64KB + 64KB
L2 Cache 2 X 4MB

I don’t know about you but I can’t wait. I will not drop the $1,100 on the chip but when it gets down around the $600 range. I will really start thinking about it. I just can’t believe the times we are in. I remember my old 486 thinking that was the greatest thing. Now we have 4 very fast processors on one chip. Just Amazing…

It’s Raining… It’s Pouring

November 6th, 2006

It started raining last night and I don’t think it has let up yet. Places are already flooding. I heard that it is going to keep raining till Thursday. But who knows the weather people around here are not always right.

What I do know is that I need to get up on the roof and clean some stuff out of the gutters. Not going to be fun if the rain does not let up. I also need to get the neighbors tree trimed. The pine needles are cloging the gutter drain.

The building at work is flooding the neighboring apartment building because all the water is flowing off our roof in one spot. That spot is then running over to the basement of the apartment building. I am glad I don’t live there.
