Intel Core 2 Duo Finally Available

Well, the Pentium M descendant, the Intel Core 2 Duo, has finally entered the desktop market. It's even quicker than the Intel Core Duo that's been in laptops etc. And prices are very competitive for top of the range Intel chips - being priced less than the single core Pentium M chips...

You can buy motherboards from around £100 at scan.co.uk and chips are likely to be available on the 24th of July from overclockers.co.uk, with speeds up to 2.9ghz!!! Prices of dual core AMD Athlon 64 X2 chips seem to have dropped dramatically as they appear considerably slower than the new Intel chips.
