  1. The Cosumer Electronics Show is going on in Las Vegas and engadget has had mad crazy coverage of the event, with minute by minute updates on a variety of product announcements. The next wave of laptops comming out will feature new Core Duo processors... basically like the dual core pentiums out now for desktops (I just got one at work)... anyhoo, the laptops should see a major boost in performace / batery savings.

  3. I've noticed a difference... resampling a grid is about 25% faster... that's probably the most intensive thing I've done. It may also be due to having a new clean system, hard to tell really... Maybe I'll try some 3d analyst stuff and see what happens.

    You can always check out tomshardware for hardcore processor discussions... they constantly update their CPU comparison charts.
