Conroe
A group of guys in their thirties spent about 20k odd on 4 new systems at the shop next door yesterday. Two AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 Dual Core 4600s and Two Intel Core™ 2 Duo E6300s each costing about 5k odd.
By the way for the uninformed, the Intel Core™ 2 Duo aka Allendale/Conroe/Conroe XE is Intel's latest answer to end AMD's 3 year reign since the introduction of the AMD Athlon™ 64. The releases are as follows
Allendale - E4200/4300/6300/6400
Conroe - E6600/6700
Conroe XE - X6800/6900
I wonder when I'll get to see the black box. Intel Core™ 2 Extreme X6800.
Competition is good, the consumers benefit from a price war. If you're looking to buy a new system, it's a good time to observe the market. The war has begun.
The interesting part was the POST screen of one of the Core™ 2 Duo.

Notice The Oddity?
My Colleague Posing Happily With Our First Intel Core™ 2 Duo E6600PS: I am not an Intel supporter. Waiting patiently for AMD's Quad Core (4X4) and by 2008, AMD's AM3.
