Seems Intel have announced a new dual core P4 Extreme CPU running at 4 Ghz. CPU also has HT giving 4 logical processors in the one paskage.
To make full use of this applications have to be recompiled.
Expect to see some further news about new PCs targetd at HiDef at NAB.

I'd say it would support duel core P4's if it could support duel core AMD's. Amazing what competitions will make intel do, huh? :0

I thought intel abandoned trying to get past 4gh\?

"Running at 4 GHz" isn't exactly getting past it. Intel is actually getting their dual core desktop processors out first but I think AMD has a less "quick and dirty" design in mind. Not that I'm in a rush but I did just upgrade to a skt939 Athlon64 board thinking I'd upgrade the CPU to dual core sometime soon. Even if it didn't benefit Vegas, I have other tasks it'd benefit from. Both Dreamweaver and Outlook tend to plug up my system so it'd be nice to keep working while they bumble along.

For that, I don't even need to get the fastest CPU. I just want to be able to keep working.
