Could be 75-bit support tho - that's cutting edge, baby!

Nice guess, right up there with the prior rumors, and although it does
offer 64-bt support, it is not exclusively 64-bit... see wikipedia entry.

Intel has a thing called Viiv. From Intel's web site, I can learn
that it'll bring me more friends, increase my confidence, and whiten

FWIW, if you are building a new workstation look at the
'executive' series boards or 'extreme' series (975XBX is what I
have). Many of the executive series have onboard graphics with
an available 16x PCIe slot for a vide card.
The only somewhat current issue with the 965 family is the IDE

Precisely. Many people think Centrino is a processor when it is
actually a 'package' of components. Intel Pentium M, Intel
Wireless, Intel chipset and video. Use a Broadcom wireless
adapter and you can't use the Centrino name. Viiv is the same
thing for 'multimedia'. Not so much a certification but
I remember Viiv being rumored to hint at the dual-core, tech,
since it looks like a palindrome of roman numerals :)
Well that was disspelled... my understanding is that it is
just another chipset-compliance spec, like Centrino.
Wikipedia calls it a "marketing platform", nice one!
