    I heard Intel is coming out with this awesome new chip that will bypass the BUSS and take info directly to memory for super fast performance. I tried Google to find more info on when it's coming out but no luck. Does anyone know more about this?

    from wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Nehalem_(microarchitecture)

    Nehalem is the codename for an Intel processor microarchitecture. The first processor released with this architecturce is the desktop Core i7. Nehalem will be released in late 2008 for high-end desktop and dual-processor platforms and in Q4 2009 to Q1 2010 for mainstream desktop and mobile platforms. The microarchitecture is the successor to the Core microarchitecture.

    Initial Nehalem processors use the 45 nm manufacturing methods from Penryn. A working system with two Nehalem processors was shown at Intel Developer Forum Fall 2007, and a large number of Nehalem systems were shown at Computex in June 2008.

    The processor is named after the Nehalem River in Northwest Oregon, which is in turn named after the Nehalem Native American tribe in Oregon. The code name itself had been seen on the end of several roadmaps starting in 2000. At that stage it was supposed to be the latest evolution of the NetBurst architecture. Since the abandonment of NetBurst, the codename has been recycled and refers to a completely different project.

    Thanks Speculant. No wonder I couldn't find anything when I was spelling it wrong!
