Intel is not phasing out Core 2 duos for a while. Not everybody can spend $1000.00 for Ram, Motherboard, and Processor. Also there are going to be WAY more 775 sockets out there to support than there will be Socket (enter number here, I forgot).
22nm is the size of the transistors on the processors, what this allows is faster clocking, less power consumption, and cooler running. Most 65nm Core 2's could only do about 3.5Ghz, but most (including mine) wolfdale or yorkfield 45nm's can do 4.0Ghz+
the 8800's are based on shader arcetecture that is only used in Direct X10. My guess is that open GL is going to use shaders.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I've found myself using my PC for a lot of conversations lately, and I'm also considering recording a podcast to share with anyone who will listen. There are tons of USB headset / microphones out there, and I'm hoping someone has some solid recommendations based on experience. I'll consider both headsets and standalone mics, by the way, but I'd like to keep the bill under $100 if possible. Help!"
