Quad-core

At least once a week, often once a day someone will walk past and in a conversation cores (dual or quad) will come up. Recently I've found that details on both the AMD and Intel sites to be lacking in some areas - have you tried to make sure your buying a x64 capable processor by checking their sites...it's too hard? 

So this article at ars technica gave me a nice summary of the upcoming Quad-core technologies, without having to search too much.
