Throwing Down
The Inquirer website is saying AMD will launch not only their new dual core Opterons (Is it just me, or does the name sound like something Captain Scarlet should be concerned about? -ed. /digress) tomorrow, but also dual core Athlons as well. The desktop chips (there are four of them), called the Athlon 64 X2 series, will supposedly fit existing Athlon 64 compatible motherboards. However, you will need a BIOS update to get them to work. No word yet on prices (or how they will keep these things from burning the paint off of your modded PC case).
