In this case it's an IBM technology that allows the processor to process 
data in 128 bit chunks. The next generation of Pentiums should do it too. 
But, will the motherboards be as updated? (Internal and external firewire 
ports). Apple's new big LCD screen is ground breaking too. And expensive! 
But points to the future for all of us. Too bad MS and Intel don't lead, 
but wait for competition to lead the way, they play catchup.

Sort of like Leica. They only do cutting edge stuff in lenses, too bad they 
don't do so in cameras as well. (Wait, did I say that?) :-)
