I got curious about 2 weeks ago, and went to the Intel web site to find out about that. I saw a page what was obviously written by a marketing man, spent a lot of time reading how great it was, but couldn't find one word on how it worked or looked, logically, so I assumed it was a glorious piece of incompatible junk.
