My god... I almost choked on the highlighter in my mouth when I saw this on newegg's frontpage.

I'm sure these things won't overclock worth "poop" because of the extra cache. Extreme computers are obtained through overclocking, EE cpu's won't overclock, therefore to obtain an extreme cpu you must buy a 3.2C and overclock it.:scratch:

    I'm 17 goddamnit... get it right! ;)

    I'm actually trying to find someone putting them in the Clevo (Sager) 8890s... if I get a new laptop now, I'd really rather have the P4-EE than the regular 3.2-C, if I can fit the -EE in the budget...

    Shuttle has no battery. The Sager gives me just enough time to unplug it, shove it in the bag, chuck the AC adapter in with it, sprint to my next class, and plug it back in as fast as possible... the caps in the Shuttle's PS aren't that big... :p

    I've been admiring the Athlon 64 FX-51 for the past few days ($ 1,057.00 Cdn at PCCyber). I wonder how it compares to this new intel chip.

    Sprint.. ?? Are you a weighlifter when you aren't destroying PC's?? :crazy:

    Last time I checked, destop replacement laptops were heavy. Sprint?? Stagger more like it. :p

    The laptop isn't that heavy. 13lbs... it seems heavy to you because short arms have less leverage... *cough* :D

    I used to carry 56lbs on my shoulder countless times a day at my former employer (a few years back).. 13lbs is nothing ;)

    My point was that you "sprint" with your "portable".. both of which seem a bit.. unlikely with a 13lb notebook :p

    I see no conflict here. :confused:

    Oh Mr Pedantic checks the dictionary :banghead:

    You appear to have missed the humour mate ;)

    I was indicating that "sprint" involved you staggering (in a jogging type manner) out of breath, with one shoulder lower than the other due to the weight :p

    I think Il go to work, you continue to tax my brain :crazy:

See<TT> to- </TT>in Indo-European Roots.]<BLOCKQUOTE><EM><B>Usage Note: </B></EM>The standard rule requires that <I>that</I> should be used only to introduce a restrictive (or defining) relative clause, which identifies the entity being talked about; in this use it should never be preceded by a comma. Thus, in the sentence <CITE>The house that Jack built has been torn down,</CITE> the clause <I>that Jack built</I> is a restrictive clause identifying the specific house that was torn down. Similarly, in <CITE>I am looking for a book that is easy to read,</CITE> the restrictive clause <I>that is easy to read</I> tells what kind of book is desired. A related rule stipulates that <I>which</I> should be used with nonrestrictive (or nondefining) clauses, which give additional information about an entity that has already been identified in the context; in this use, <I>which</I> is always preceded by a comma. Thus, we say <CITE>The students in Chemistry 101 have been complaining about the textbook, which (not that) is hard to follow.</CITE> The clause <I>which is hard to follow</I> is nonrestrictive in that it does not indicate which text is being complained about; even if the clause were omitted, we would know that the phrase <I>the textbook</I> refers to the text in Chemistry 101.
    ·Some grammarians extend the rule and insist that, just as <I>that</I> should be used only in restrictive clauses, <I>which</I> should be used only in nonrestrictive clauses. Thus, they suggest that we should avoid sentences such as <CITE>I need a book which will tell me all about city gardening,</CITE> where the restrictive clause <I>which will tell me all about city gardening</I> indicates which sort of book is needed. But this extension of the rule is far from universally accepted, and the use of <I>which</I> with restrictive clauses is common. Furthermore, since <I>that</I> cannot be used with clauses introduced by a preposition (whether or not restrictive), <I>which</I> is used with both clauses when such a clause is joined by <I>and</I> or <I>or</I> to another that does not begin with a preposition, as in <I>It is a philosophy in which the common man may find solace and which many have found reason to praise.</I> Such constructions are often considered cumbersome, however, and
    it may be best to recast the sentence completely to avoid the problem. ·<I>That</I> is often omitted in a relative clause when the subject of the clause is different from the word that the clause refers to. Thus, we may say either <CITE>the book that I was reading</CITE> or <CITE>the book I was reading.</CITE> In addition, <I>that</I> is commonly omitted before other kinds of subordinate clauses, as in <CITE>I think we should try again</CITE> where <I>that</I> would precede <I>we.</I> These constructions omitting <I>that</I> are entirely idiomatic, even in more formal contexts.
