- I guess this means that Prescott supports NX. Yay!
QUOTE Security features designed to thwart attacks (NX) will also be enabled with an update of Windows XP (Windows XP SP2) coming in the second quarter.

- Yes I would like one of these 100W Thermal monsters please... The reasuring drone of fans will be quite welcome and it will mean that there is no need for additional radiators in the lounge!!
Come on Intel, give us a break... the 90nm Apple's are better for the living room (25.4w) or the AMD 64+ with cool and quiet technology.
I love Intel but you HAVE to sort out this heat

- intel is becomming too boring
A successor, Tejas, will appear in about a year. A family of chipsets code-named Grantsdale, coming later in the spring, will push the entertainment angle further by adding High Definition Audio and giving PCs the ability to act like a wireless access hub for other household devices. "This is a fundamental leap forward in the platform capability. You are going to have better graphics, better audio," said Louis Burns, vice president and general manager of the Desktop Platforms Group at Intel. "If you compare it to the stack of CE (consumer electronics) stuff you are replacing, it is not only attractive in price, it is very attractive."
What's New in This Release:
· Fixed some bugs with OGM files
· Fixed -asX command line option
· If for ex. second audio stream was choosen and next movie has only one audio stream there was no sound, fixed
· 'Add directory' playlist command, didn't add custom defined extension, fixed
· Fixed problem with taskbar
· Fixed bug with subtitles in Matroska files (part of previous subtitle was visible)
· Fixed bug with 'scrambled' subtitles and OSD when 'Draw to overlay surface' option was enabled
· In full screen skins when you move mouse over seek bar, it now shows time and % instead of only %
· Window moving should be more smooth under Win9x now (like in 0.86 versions)
· Added support for (SRT) subtitles embeded in AVI files (created for ex. with AVIMux GUI)
· Added option to choose file name in 'Export bookmarks' dialog
· Added support for multiple audio streams in MPEG files
· It's now possible to assign double click to actions
· Added option to load custom fonts for skins (look in .Baseskin.ini file for syntax)
