Arrived sooner than I expected, and well packaged. Looking forwards to using this

You have a PM.

DA 40 Ltd arrived today as John said, just before I was going out for the day, so managed to get some use in

pm set re. 40mm

Finally managed to get to the Post Office to pick the 200mm up! All good, might try it out on my stroll to work tomorrow

PM sent re: 200mm.

Excellent Thanks for the fast work on your return, looking forwards to reading some of these.

I think this should be clarified a bit, I also thought it would mean back issue PDF downloads (being as the last I heard the magazine was no longer being produced).

That still leaves the lack of OpenCL support - you couldn't use the 320M/9400M since they're designed to interface with the Core 2 Duo, not the i3/i5/i7, so you'd have to use a discrete GPU and memory, plus a PCH, all of which takes board space.

TDP for the three chips will be a bit more than C2D+9400/320M too, but probably only about 4W (3.5W for PCH, 1W more for the CPU, think the GPUs are roughly the same). Not counting the RAM, no idea how much that would be.

Apple are obviously going to have to switch from Core 2 Duo (especially since the raw performance of the i3/i5/i7 is so much better), but how they do it with Intel without ending up either dropping OpenCL support on some machines, or having bigger motherboards, I don't know.

As far as PC vs Mac, whatever you're more comfortable with

Interesting, but I'm having a problem finding figures that agree I can find i3s and i5s with a TDP of 35W, or slow (just over 1GHz w/o turbo) with a TDP of 18W. And that's just for the 'CPU' (obviously IGP, memory controller etc. too in the i3/i5 case), not including the PCH and secondary GPU. I realise this is getting distinctly off topic, so... any pointers?
