- Low-End Single/Dual-Core CPUs: Leisurely Computing -
AMD processors are still doing fine in the Low-End segment (unlike the
High-End). The cheapest dual-core processors offer similar performance.
Sempron is outperformed by Celeron, but not as much as Phenom X4 by Core 2
Extreme. There is still a small fly in the ointment: AMD processors are not
only slower, they are also much hotter. Not as hot as the notorious
NetBurst, of course. But power consumption of K8 is still significantly
higher than that of Intel Core. However, with the peak value of 40 W, many
people will just not pay much attention to it. In related news,
TweakTown take a look at the AMD Phenom X4 9350e - Low Cost Quad Core.

I would
recommend the 2493HM to anyone looking for a large 24" monitor that
doesn't require the professional color accuracy and gamut of an expensive
screen.
- 64-bit Vista uptake increases dramatically -
64-bit PCs
running 64-bit editions of Windows Vista typically have 4GB of memory or
more. Compared to 32-bit systems, which top out at around 3GB of memory,
64-bit PCs can offer added responsiveness when running a lot of applications
at the same time and have the potential for greater performance and new
experiences as next-generations applications are written to take advantage
of this new platform
