When wandering round the computer stores or surfing the internet if you come across the [tag-tec]Intel[/tag-tec] Viiv you will know you are pretty much at the cutting edge of today with a? [tag-tec]coreduo[/tag-tec] processor or sometimes it is referred to as a? [tag-tec]dual core[/tag-tec] processor.

Viiv is designed to offer surround sound and HD video so is likely to eventually end up in the home theater fanatic’s set up and here’s just? a scratching of the surface of what this new media can do .

If Intel had it’s way this could see the end of the home PC and the launch of the multi media experience in the home ..
