Yes… I believe the time has come to replaced ‘ye ol shared pc’ in the house. Our little DELL has been great! Other than a dead power supply during the first year (replaced under warranty) - it still runs ‘ok’ - I can hear the fans spinning in the other room. I have to remind myself that I bought this machine a little over 6 years ago in 2003 for about $1,200 (including monitor!)
Here’s the configuration:
This was passed along to me on Twitter today, thought I’d share it with the Scoop audience. Awesome video showcasing how sand is turned into one of the worlds most innovative use of silicon - the Intel Core Processor!

Computers have changed our daily schedule so much in the past few years, and as we slowly creep into the holiday season, what is on top of your holiday list this season?
Do you envision building the baddest of Core i7 gaming rigs?
I’ve been dying to do this upgrade for a while, and I finally did the upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate! Yes, I said “upgrade”, mostly because I just wasn’t ready to do a full OS rebuild on my Core i7. But I also wanted to try out the upgrade feature that is so highly acclaimed…
Sixty-five minutes later… I was pleasantly surprised!
There are several choices in the Windows 7 OS realm… but as many of you know, I’m into the Extreme side of things…
When Gwen won the Photoshop contest a few weeks ago, I asked if she would be willing to record a video highlighting her process in image manipulation. Here is what she came up. I am quite impressed.
Looks like you guys are all some pretty innovative designers!
At least that's what we thought here at Intel once all the entries started rolling into Twitpic in our Extreme Photo Contest. We had a total of 36 entries, each showcasing their own unique spin on Lab Coat Guy, Leapfrog Guy, Jumping Kid, and yes the hamster too.
At the end of the contest, those 36 photos had garnered a total of 75,978 views and 1,583 comment votes! Nice work, guys! The photo that took the final prize was the one below, submitted by novah, with a total of 698 votes.
At Intel, we know that our Rock Stars are unique; just ask Ajay Bhatt, co-inventor of the USB. You are unique too; and we want to know why you think you’re a rock star.

Yes, this contest is about you, not us.
For this contest, we want you to Rock Star Yourself by using Photoshop to show off why you rock. For inspiration, check out some of the examples below, and remember, “rock star” isn’t limited to what you can do with a guitar. (It’s all about the attitude!) To enter, just follow the steps below:
In case you hadn't heard, today we launched the All New Intel® Core™ i7 Mobile Processor that really is the "fastest mobile processor on the planet."

When people ask me for recommendations on buying (or building) a new PC, my first question is ‘How much do you want to spend’ - because like anything, you usually get what you pay for. Everyone who’s wanted Intel Core i7 performance can now purchase it, without worry - it’s gonna ROCK!
If you’re like most people, you want a new PC that will play the latest games, manipulate your media files, and not cost and arm and a leg. You want the best ‘bang for the buck’ that you can buy in a computer today. With the latest Intel Core i7-800 Series, and Intel Core i5-700 Series Processors in conjunction with the new Intel P55 Chipset - you CAN have the best of both worlds.
