QuakeCon 05 Wrap-Up, Dual-Core-Capable Pentium Platforms Compared

Hey everyone, here's your afternoon dose of news. I need to suck down a couple coffees and head out, so let's get to it...

Dual-core-capable Pentium platforms compared @ The Tech Report

"Intel's dual-core chips may be cheap, but they won't plug into just any LGA775 motherboard. The processors require a chipset from Intel's 955/945 family or NVIDIA's nForce4 SLI Intel Edition, so upgrading is more involved than simply buying a new CPU. Fortunately, motherboard manufacturers have flocked to Intel and NVIDIA's new chipsets, so there's no shortage of dual-core-compatible motherboards from which to choose."

Yes, that means you are no longer wireless, but it also means that you can still use your mouse!"
