other news coming out of the Intel Developer Forum today, Velocity Micro unveiled its updated ProMagix W160 workstation with Intel’s upcoming quad-core processor (code-named “Kentsfield”). What does this mean to the average consumer? Not a whole lot.

  • Historically, Velocity Micro has had outstanding competitive prices over other high-end PC vendors like Alienware and VooDooPC. Their boxes also have rated pretty well in performance and overclocking tests on CNet in comparison to comparable machines. I’m not sure about the quality of support or long-term performance though. Maybe someone else has some insights?
