Quote:Have you been lusting after a dual-core processor but are unwilling to pay the premium price? Your wait may be over. New dual-core CPUs from AMD and Intel are showing up in desktop systems priced around $1500, within the budget of mainstream computer users. Our first tests of such systems indicate that dual-core chips provide good value.
If you wanted to own one of the first dual-core systems to hit the market, you had to pay the typical cutting-edge premium: Intel's first dual-core chip, the 3.2-GHz Pentium Extreme Edition 840, initially sold for $1100. Now the company's cheapest dual-core processor, the 2.8-GHz Pentium D 820, is about $250 online.
