it is actually 320 * 10^9 bytes. If u divide that thrice by 1024 you get 298.023GB. I wish marketing is more ethical as it is not 320GByte but 320*10^9 bytes.

I will be stunned if intel stops using xeon branding. That has been very successful. The might do something like Xeon EP or something like that.

I am pretty sure all core 2 extreme chips start with x. So 2.8ghz is x7900. I remember seeing T7800 in one of the roadmaps. That should have TDP of 35W.

Is there any reason Apple is not offering options like 7900GS or 7900GTX in these computers. Dell laptops have them so it should fit the thermal envelope.

I think Apple needs to have enclosures that handle heat much better. They should not try to make "nano" like laptop that has poor thermals. Rev A Macbook pros are too hot IMHO.
