Motherboards

Yonah Processers

Now I haven't seen how these stack up against the AMD counterparts, however they are Core Duo processers (unfortunately Conroe is comeing later than I want it to). They are also supposidly better than the Pentium D 9 series (Prestler)

They are not 64-bit, anyone buying into processors now should be getting 64-bit minimum.  Vista and programs utilising 64-bit will be far faster.

I don't know about "suckass", they are nearly on par with AMD X2 performance.

I also recently found out that the Yonah's are the processers in the Macs. That could explain the preformance.
