[kram 2.0]

I don't know if Prescott really was a breakthrough technology, with what Intel did with it. Supposedly, it has small micron sizes (more processes), but it also did extend the pipeline architecture considerably. Now, knowing little of CPUs to start out with (but now not, with the help of PCMech forums ), I would imagine that this new "technology" would be a must have with this low price and all. But be cautious.


Here are some info on the Prescott chips: http://www.tomshardware.com/cpu/2004...escott-1.html/ and benchmarks.

Also, back on the question, Asus claims it "fully supports" the new Prescott technology. Just make sure, like lil Jimmie said, that you get a new BIOS for Prescott (power supplying, and all).


Hope that helps,
