OK, Totally off the wall thread, but it IS the Club Car...
So I was looking at an e-mail I get with industry related headlines, etc. and saw this link.

So, aside from the technical info of the reasons, and the size info and all the techy stuff, is 800K worth of transistors that hard to miss, or even count? in the big picture of 2 billion versus 1.2 billion... It's a LOT, and I mean A LOT of transistors...
Now you can read all the comments and get the jest of why it's really important and all, but I was thinking of it as a relative thing, 1.2B and 2B!
Kind of mind boggling isn't it...
