Of course not... I was wondering why this was even worthy of a news article.

If any chip deserves such a price however it will be Nehalem... the performance increase has some serious large potential.

Would have to be out of my mind to even be interested in one of these. Nehalem awaits...

Okay, who is saving up to get these.

Your wife or g/f will demand for $20K diamond ring if you plan on getting one, or you will be all be alone with only PC sex for the next few months.
