If you have alot of extra money and are a wingnut....go out and be a test monkey. I'm waiting for the definitive benchmarks and fine tunning and the unconditional architecture changes. I think we are talking about mid 2007! Conroe looks really good and my friend, who designs chips for a living (MIT electrical engineer) knows that the future of faster processing is not in the clock cycle rates but in the core and instruction piplelines. so quad core octacore (just made that up since there aint no such thing.) What is coming is not what we are ued too or familiar with. wouldn't surprise me to see extremely low core voltages and 30ns or so latencies and clock rates down to 1.5 to 1.8Ghz running multiple cores and multiple cpus! It's fun watching the whole protocol being turned on it's head!!!
