excellent--hyperthreading will be the wave of the future--now it only is about 25% efficient, but will get better with time. I think that the dvd ripping will decrease dramatically because it is such a cpu-intensive task. How is the...

Aren't dvd-r disks like $30? No, if you look on the internet, you can buy blank name disks (in a 100 spindle like cds) for around 60-80 cents each.

Dvd burner all the way! That's what I'm waiting for!!!

With the 8887, should I get two optical drives so that I can burn cd to cd or dvd to dvd (when the drive is released soon)? Or, should I just get another 60gb 5400rpm hard drive? What is model number and brand of the dvd burner that...

man, if the 8887 dosen't have a nice screen like the 5660, that would be a bummer--that what you look at all day long!!!

I sort of stole this for jimmy(sorry), but when can we see faster ram--like 333 or 400 mhz. It seems this is a major bottleneck in the system. Will the 8887 address this issue? DDR 266 really IS old.

Any temp sensor would be great! Are there any to install on latops?

Yes, I'm very interested in this. if you do it, could you post steps of how to do it--with pics maybe? With heat my only worry about the system, I think this would be great if it could reduce temps by 5-7 degrees. I think we should...

At, first, I wasn't too concerned about the heat issues that some people have have, but with the new 3.06 and hyperthreading, which makes it 8-10% hotter, I'm getting worried. I know heat is bad--performance drop and frying--but will...
