mattmatteh: Lightkey, and was interested in the 2f, but read that a quad core would be comming out soon. i am drooling over that
Lightkey: not sure.. I never do more than one thing on it, so I would not benefit from more cores
Lightkey: would be different on a desktop probably
mattmatteh: Lightkey, well, i dont need that either, but sounds nice
mattmatteh: Lightkey, like if i get one, it would use if for a whlie
mattmatteh: Lightkey, and... it would be my first quad core
mattmatteh: Lightkey, i only have a dual core now.
mattmatteh: something nice to mess with
mattmatteh: and use of course
Deanjo: Ummm, michaellarabel people might confuse your little subheading "It's Stable" with it being "Official". It's still a pre-release
