I just got the last parts for our latest test box today. Highlights are:
Core2 duo 2.8 (although it's reporting as 2.6 from the motherboard - I'll take a look at that later)
Intel integrated graphics.
It's running great. Faster than my athlon X2 6000. It was about 50 bucks more. That's the new entry level core2 duo and I bet the older/slower core2 duo chips should also run fine.
Don is actually stopping by in a few minutes (he lives 2 hours away.) We're going to go over a couple of quick things and he'll be on his way. GameRoom magazine did a very nice article on Nucore that will be out in the next issue (may I think.) Also watch for a 1.5 hour interview with me on the silverball podcast.
