Techbits are a brain child of Greg Hess, who initially started them on the Discreet Forum, then moved them here to a permanent home;
they are gathered, (chewed up) and processed by Greg Hess and Thomas Bruno, an all around good guys, hardware experts and
3DLuVr staff/contributing authors.

Additional Note: These are not the 512k l2 cache xeons which will be coming out later.
