Hardware, Embedded Systems It's a big day in processor land today, as both Intel and AMD announced several new chips. Both Intel and AMD launched a number of chips targeted at the segment just above netbooks, which are generally slightly larger and a bit more powerful. In addition, AMD launched its six core Istanbul server processor, as well as a new Athlon II X2 dual-core processor, and a new high-end Phenom II X2.

And that is why they can have my 12" iBook G4 with an upgraded 6hr battery when they pry it from my cold dead hands.

Sure, it's slow, but dog gone if it doesn't run near forever.

I've replaced the hard drive. I've replaced the magnesium sub-frame (that was a massively fun surgery!) because the old one had cracked. I've maxed out the RAM. When Apple decides to no longer support it, it'll have a new lease on life with Linux, and I'm -hoping- an Andriod port.
