IF THE THOUGHT of buying a Core Duo Apple machine that can boot
Windows XP is making you itchy to go buy one, hold your
horses.
The price of Intel Core Duo chips is set to plummet on the 28th of
May, and there's faster chips coming along anyroadmap. Those
include the 2.33GHz T2700, but this is only the start of better
things from Chipzilla later this year.

T2600 2.16GHz 667 2MB $637 $423
T2500 2.00GHz 667 2MB $423 $294

The Merom processors, produced on 65 nanometre process technology,
will have 4MB of cache, support 64-bitness and virtualisation,
while the low voltage versions will have 800MHz buses, eventually.
