Also suspect is shock absorption, that thing cant be too happy after being dropped 6 inches...

Anyhoo, very cool, very expensive, and i must say very unsuspecting]]>May 19th 2007 2:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/19/8-core-nextdimension-pc-stretches-the-definition-of-portable/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/19/8-core-nextdimension-pc-stretches-the-definition-of-portable/

Maybe I'm dreaming.... just maybe?]]>May 19th 2007 3:26PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/19/8-core-nextdimension-pc-stretches-the-definition-of-portable/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/19/8-core-nextdimension-pc-stretches-the-definition-of-portable/it's about time they release a dual socket motherboard that supports those CPU's

well, look no further than Intel's own line of S5000 motherboards... dual Xeon, capable of running the quad-cores... it's probably what's inside this thing also ;-)

now what I'm curious about, next to the high-end quad-cores, there's also the much cheaper E5310 running at 1.6GHz. Now if only someone would put that into a Mac Pro to get a budget 8-core... ^_^]]>May 19th 2007 4:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/19/8-core-nextdimension-pc-stretches-the-definition-of-portable/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/19/8-core-nextdimension-pc-stretches-the-definition-of-portable/May 19th 2007 5:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/19/8-core-nextdimension-pc-stretches-the-definition-of-portable/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/19/8-core-nextdimension-pc-stretches-the-definition-of-portable/May 19th 2007 5:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/19/8-core-nextdimension-pc-stretches-the-definition-of-portable/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/19/8-core-nextdimension-pc-stretches-the-definition-of-portable/May 19th 2007 5:19PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/19/8-core-nextdimension-pc-stretches-the-definition-of-portable/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/19/8-core-nextdimension-pc-stretches-the-definition-of-portable/May 19th 2007 5:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/19/8-core-nextdimension-pc-stretches-the-definition-of-portable/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/19/8-core-nextdimension-pc-stretches-the-definition-of-portable/core 2 duos aren't multiprocessor capable so i'd imagine that it will be running Xeons

...I was referring to Xeons... the single socket X3200 is nothing more than a rebadged quad-core core2... ;-)

>and markie 4 cores at 2.6 will work out better day to day than 8 at 1.6

depends on what you want to do with it... it's quite a bold statement to put it like this if you don't know how the machine is used... ;-)]]>May 19th 2007 5:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/19/8-core-nextdimension-pc-stretches-the-definition-of-portable/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/19/8-core-nextdimension-pc-stretches-the-definition-of-portable/
"are "lan parties" still hip or did broadband kill that fad?perhaps this case design is 8 years too late"

Yes, LAN parties are still "hip", and broadband could never kill it. There is nothing faster than LAN.
No, this case design isn't too late, because even if LAN parties were dead, portability would still be a big issue for a lot of people.]]>May 19th 2007 6:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/19/8-core-nextdimension-pc-stretches-the-definition-of-portable/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/19/8-core-nextdimension-pc-stretches-the-definition-of-portable/May 19th 2007 9:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/19/8-core-nextdimension-pc-stretches-the-definition-of-portable/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/19/8-core-nextdimension-pc-stretches-the-definition-of-portable/May 20th 2007 12:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/19/8-core-nextdimension-pc-stretches-the-definition-of-portable/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/19/8-core-nextdimension-pc-stretches-the-definition-of-portable/May 20th 2007 10:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/19/8-core-nextdimension-pc-stretches-the-definition-of-portable/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/19/8-core-nextdimension-pc-stretches-the-definition-of-portable/May 21st 2007 2:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/19/8-core-nextdimension-pc-stretches-the-definition-of-portable/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/19/8-core-nextdimension-pc-stretches-the-definition-of-portable/May 21st 2007 6:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/19/8-core-nextdimension-pc-stretches-the-definition-of-portable/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/19/8-core-nextdimension-pc-stretches-the-definition-of-portable/May 21st 2007 6:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/05/19/8-core-nextdimension-pc-stretches-the-definition-of-portable/http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/19/8-core-nextdimension-pc-stretches-the-definition-of-portable/http://www.nextcomputing.com/products/nextdimpro_hd.shtml.
