You are correct. For an average home user you will not have to worry about cooling at all. Some people put in better cooling systems saying that it helps improve game performance but based on my own personal experience and that of my friends there is no noticeable difference during gameplay. Where you really have to consider cooling is in large datacenters where you have hundreds of servers in a small room. It can get very warm and you would need large air conditioning units to keep the temperature under control so that all the machines run efficiently.

I've heard lots of talk about dual-core processors (Intel Pentium D and Core Duo for the Macs, and AMD's lineup too). For me it wouldn't be practical, since I don't game or do other really processor intensive tasks. But for those who have money, need speed (and want to have the latest tech), it sounds good to me. Eventually, they will come down in price, and even mainstream computers will have dual-core chips sometime.

ehh. .dual core... wonder why Intel is't making 64bits processor to compete with AMD. Maybe they haven't finished the research yet. anyway, i'm running a duron 700mhz now.. for about two years how. .HAhAhA.. but since i don't play game much or do anything that requires that fast of a processor.. i don't need to upgrade my computer.. I'm happy as long as it plays divx and other video files and won't lag. Actually.. i would like a newer and faster computer because i want to watch movies while running other stuff like AIM and download using bit torrent, etc. But doing all that don't really need an expensive proccessor.. About the heat sink that came with the computer. .It doesn't work very well.. I remember i once tried to play need for speed underground with this computer. The heatsink cannot handle the heat from the CPU.. so it keept on restarting like every 1 hour. Which sucks when i'm in the middle of a really hard race... .because then i have to start over. Didn't really know what was causing the problem until i touched my heatsink and found that it was extremely hot.. so i replaced it with my spare copper headsink that was meant for a 1.7gb cpu. Suprised how the heatsink still get hot when i play games. I have my computer under the desk so it doesn't get much cool air down there. But i have two system fan to cool it down when needed.. I usuaully don't turn them on because it increases the noises.

certainly this is an awesome processor to have, with more instructions can be performed at the same time it will blow up almost all current application. However I think the speed will diminish in the long run. Applications will be upgraded to make use of the processing power of these CPU. But for now we really can enjoy this processor, of course the cost is the tradeoff.

i just bought a dual core laptop from Dell yesterday. It is pretty cheap. http://www1.ca.dell.com/content/topics/seg...DHS1&l=en&s=dhs999.99 canadian which is like 850 US . i am just going to get a canadian friend to bring it down for me. it has duo core, 512 ram, 100gb hd 5400rpm, 128 onboard video. it's pretty cheap laptop for dual core.

Intel Targets 32-core Processors In 2010.
Intel Develops Processors with 32 Cores (2) I've found an interesting article about new Intel CPU for servers. QUOTE The processor
code-named Gulftown will have “eight processing nodes” with four cores on each one, according to TG
Daily web-site, which may mean that the chip will consist of several physical dice. Every die will
sport four processing engines, 3MB unified level-three cache, while every core will have 512KB L2
cache. The dice will be connected to each other using “a ring architecture” interconnect technology.

Apple Expected To Change To Intel
(8) It appears that Apple plans to use Intel chips instead of PowerPC chips in its new computers. This
could prove to be a very risky move by the company since all the programs and software would have to
be changed to work with the new computers using Intel and those left with the old PowerPC apples are
not going to be very happy. It's going to be interesting to see how the hardcore Mac users are
going to react to this move by Apple and many are probably going to leave Apple for good. I am
just glad I am not a Mac user or else this move would prove to be a very big h....
