When is p4 2800 mhz coming?

When is it coming out. It's coming out in competition with the amd xp 2600+.

Wow, technology today is amazing. Numbers are so high. Heh, the 2800 Mhz will probably cost like $1500. That's pretty expesive.

YOWZER! I just wish the hard drive manufacturers would ante up and gives us a little more without the platters disintegrating.

Already out? I must be slow. Damn, 600 USD is like 1000+ CDN here. I'd stick with the amd xp 2600+

Personally, I think the speed competition will eventually come to an end... or a slowdown at least. Then the competition will turn more to the manufacturing process which will change the efficiency in which these processors run at these rated speeds.

Send a message via ICQ to Pimpmaster
Your right Hal, but since the AMD Hammer and Jackhammer is coming out, it will probably be awhile.

No, you're telling me. I still have a ibm penitum 50 Mhz, like 32 ram, 17" 16 bit monitor, and like 1 gig hdd which I bought for like $5000, over 8 years ago.

I think in about 10 years, technology will die out. Then it's into the cars! Flying cars. the future. Lol.

I heard WinXP doesn't like the 2.8, something about stability issues... Any truth to this?
