Comments on: For Intel, home is where the Viiv is

Chipmaker's new branding campaign aims to make it easier to identify PCs geared for recording TV shows or playing music.

Perhaps as a sales tool....

... but almost immediately thereafter, the user can easily screw up
the best pre-configuration. And any PC can meet the VIIV standard
with just a small bit of hardware and software. Seems like this is a
next to useless label developed simply to push sales, not PC
quality.

But then, what's new?????

VIIV = 64?

I already read all the mombo-jumbo about how nice these r going to be... but the name... am i the only one who have noticed its a roman 64 number? is this thing a 64bit processor? or what?

Actually, it isn't 64.

VIIV is not a valid Roman numeral at all-- it's gibberish!

That's 64 in Roman Numerals.

Hopefully consumers will see true instant on PCs

The demonstration at IDF leaves you to believe there will be more functionality built onto such platforms than just multimedia.
