Ahem, arn't you talking about Sandy Bridge? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandy_Bridg...tecture%29 Anyway, Nathan and Sandy Bridge look pretty good, let's hope that they are as efficent as thay say.

Anyway Kyle, if the requirements are so high, people are going to have the same complaints about it as with Vista most likely.

No Nehalem.

The requirements will likely be that high, unless they take it backwards from Vista. If they adopt the memory treatment XP had, you might get away with less than that, but if they even keep the exact memory and cpu use ideas they have now, it'll be that.

actually there will be both nehalem and westmere,cause sandy bridge will go out around 2010 q3...
