I hate to keep this way-off thread going but check out the size new PowerPC
CPU:

Holy CPUs Batman! Whatever happened to keeping it small? I'd love to get my
hands on one of those for my collection of CPUs!

Good advise from Allyn here.  Intel finally figured out how to make a
processor, the new Core2 Duos are kicking ass for cheap (even beating AMDs
mighty FX-63 chips).  I have always hated Intel...but, my next machine will
be a Core2 Duo.

Oh hey Al, email me privately would ya?
