Intel's Pentium 4 600 Series running Windows XP x64
Although it wasn't heavily advertised, Intel had a 925XE system running the new Pentium 4 600 series with a 2MB L2 cache in their booth. As you undoubtedly know by now, the Pentium 4 600 series is still a 90nm Prescott but with twice the L2 cache, EMT64 (x86-64) support as well as all of the features available in the current 500 series.
The Pentium 4 600 demo system
Quite possibly the most interesting part of the demo was that it was running a version of Windows XP x64, a feature that we've never really seen Intel promote much publicly.
64-bit Windows XP in a public Intel demo? We thought we'd never see the day
The demo wasn't anything too impressive; it was a demo of a Nikon D2H camera with a massive 802.11 cradle that attached to the base of the camera and FTPed images as they were taken to the Pentium 4 6xx system running Windows XP x64.
A normal Nikon D2H...
With a massive 802.11 base stuck on to it, not too elegant. Eventually Nikon will integrate the wireless functionality into their cameras.

What does the phrase '10 ft UI optimized' mean when talking about Prince of Persia?oupei - Monday, January 10, 2005 - link
#3, #4 you may not like the image but I don't see any plasmas hitting 1080p. Personally, I don't care for RPTVs of any type, but I'm sure hoping that the xHD3 makes it to front projectors without incidence.zeroreality - Monday, January 10, 2005 - link
from page 14:"the Taiwanese motherboard manufacturers are quite happy with nForce4 on the AMD side and they'd rather not produce any more Intel motherboards that won't sell, so ATI loses out."
the Xpress200 isn't an intel chipset...?
did any of the manufacturers say anything about the Xpress200 southbridge?

I really like those MGE cases. I can't seem to find their website though, anyone got a link?Koing - Monday, January 10, 2005 - link
#3 Shabby some people just like the 'image' of the dlp's. Some don't and I am in that category. I don't like exactly the things you have mentioned also. Also I am in England and they don't make any decent dlp's anyway :PHopefully I'll be getting a Pioneer 43XDE plasma in mid March sometime :D

Meh whats the big deal with dlp's?We had a 46" samsung and gave it right back, viewing from the side looks dark, samething if your a bit above the set or below.
And when you're staring at it dead on it blinds you with its bright lamp.
So we settled for a pioneer plasma set and its perfect, much richer colors then the dlp we had.

Anand, "We also asked Intel if they had any tricks up their sleeve for regaining the definitive performance crown next year - unfortunately their answer was no."You probably meant to say "this year" (2005), and not next.
