I wouldn't expect to see quad cores anytime soon in a MBP. You're going to see a little boost in getting a faster model, but you'll pay a premium with it. Bare in mind that there's two different graphic options as well- one with 128MB ram and one with 256MB. You can save a boatload of cash...

Freezer Trick You're right about pure water not conducting- it doesn't. However, dust on the HDD would contaminate any condensation, so it's best just to make sure it's completely back to room temperature and moisture free.

Hello all- I bought some Corsair Twinx1024 - 3200ll with 2-2-2-6 1T timings over 2 years ago. Now i've decided that its time for me to bump up to a socket 939 SFF system, and so I've been doing a little research to see what it is i want to get. However, a lot of my research seems to point...

I worked at Sharper Image about 5 years ago (when I was 20) and picked up a couple at the employee discount (70% for Sharper Image branded Items). They dont take up much space, and are virtually silent since there are no fans (i took the damn thing apart- there are none). In my opinion, they...
