Thanx for posting that one Werty! I'll see if I can make it though, I had a check on what that time would be over here in belgium and it seems to be 1.30 am!
EDIT: tried converting one of the other time zones and I get 00:30 am now, seems a lot more do-able!

Interesting. Is there really that much to discuss with the new nForce and Conroe? I didn't think there were any major issues, or am I wrong?

I think its just a question asking session. I can't remember but nVidia had a chat on Bjorn3d a month or two ago.

I just hope Nvidia helps both Intel and AMD, and that we'll have some fair fight, with prices as low as can be :)
And hopefully, a new Dual Core will cost less than a hundred bucks on the market (legal one), so that my 3200+ Venice goes to the neighbour next door which doesn't have so much money.
On the other hand, I think that this competition is putting an enormous pressure on the largest chip producing companies, and they are cutting prices wherever they can. This means that people will have to be paid as low as can be, so that we may get our new chips cheaper :(
Ever thought on the hundreds or thousands of man and women which stay behind these giants? They have hopes and dreams also, just like you and me. But if the competition is fierce, they may lose their jobs...

Thanks for the heads-up Werty, I hadn't see that yet ;)

Welcome eko! The only dual-core CPU that will be under $100 will be the Pentium D 805 I'm afraid, the X2 3800 and E6300 will both cost over $150... And I don't think anyone at AMD or Intel are going to get fired to fix up the bottom line. Both Intel and AMD already are in the process of building two new cpu producing facilities...
