| Intel interviewed over Conroe We recently opened up the lines of communication to Intel so our readers could ask their own questions regarding Conroe and added some of our own. Intel's own Dan "Please keep it Red" Snyder took the time to answer these questions and got some help from Epic's Tim Sweeny and Falcon Northwest's Kelt Reeves

| Intel really missed the chance to smack the IDE whiners in their face with that new Samsung Burner that is AS CHEAP as the IDE ones. I'm even so far to retire my NEC burner just because of the smaller cables and the ability to switch off the IDE controller. killing off IDE = TEH WIN the motherboard prices should have been more a discussion point as well as overclocking of said boards that often cannot keep up with the CPU |

| Why are people whining about no on-chip IDE anyway? Most motherboards will still probably have IDE years from now, it'll just be a third-party chip instead of on the southbridge. It'll still be the same for the consumer, and only slightly different for the manufacturer (one more chip on each board). |

| sata cables are the easiest to become loose and cause problems, both the SATA power as SATA data connections, really sucky

| mine come loose all the time, especially in Mini-ITX systems it can be frustrating, and even in larger cases I had my HDD refuse to power on because the power cable had gotten loose, didn't throw around the case either in order for this to happen :/
