On topic:

From the reviews, is clear that they are faster. 4 times... not in everything, but multithreaded applications get really bumped.

Sadly they raised the price for the minis... 649 Euro is a bit too much, and 84 Euro for a keyboard and a mouse is just plain absurd (there is no insert key !, how I'm supposed to use mc ?!?.

Off topic:

Someone mentioned the development of mmx from intel. I heard almost 10 years ago, that Intel came up with some software-multimedia package/routines and moco$oft told them, that with that software there was no need for win95 (there was no need, I used OS/2 at the time) and they will not sell it, so they would not allow that software to happen, so the Intel people came up with this "mm-software" inside the processor.

Anybody know how all that was ?

(I heard it one Intel conference for new resellers for their new Intel processors integrator programme).
