Re: Intel's New Dual Core Mobile Processor Announced



Suppose you are burning a copy of Mr. Bungle's first CD (which would break
any machine), and also watching a 1.2 GB mpeg video of our favorite porn
flick, "Zelda Does Zurich", which you've just downloaded from eMule. :)
It's not the best multi-tasking example, I admit, unless you also have an
external CD burner, in addition to your notebooks DVD/CD player bay. 
Another
good one is having your Nortaon anti-virus program run a full scan, and
trying to do "anything else". That always pisses me off.

The real trick is how you have both a CD and a DVD in the drive at the
same time...
