Introduction:
As you are all aware, today, the world revolves around computers. It’s a competitive world. People are competing against people for jobs, and the same applies for computers. Graphics, RAM, and hard drive space are some common bench marks for choosing a computer, but one of the most popular choices when making a computer selection is the processor. These days faster seems better, and more is better. It is because of this, I decided to find out if the new quad processor from Intel really is bigger and better.
To adequately understand what makes the quad processor what it is, I first need to tell you about what a processor actually does, and then tell you what separates the quad processor from other processors.
Body:
I. First, I will discuss what it is processors do.
a. The first action is Fetch.
b. The second action is Decode.
c. The third action is Execute.
d. The final action is Writeback.
Transition: Now that you are experts on the operation of processors, I will tell you about how the quad processor works differently than other processors.
II. Now, I will discuss what makes the quad processor different from other processors.
a. Intel’s description of the processor
b. There are more processors.
i. Having more processors means it can have better performance while running multiple programs.
ii. The proximity of the multiple processors makes processing faster.
c. Quad processor has twice the performance and over 3 times the performance per watt than dual core chips.
Conclusion:
And now that you have a better understanding of how a processor works, and also some of what separates the quad processor from the competition, it is my hope that you can make a more educated decision about processors.

couldnt figure out how to make a new post so im just posting as a comment.
Intro
I.) Attention Getter: Scientists and engineers have been working for almost 60 years to be able to make use of this gooey, metallic substance. They have had little success, until now.
II.) Thesis: Today I will be speaking to you about the history of MR Fluid, what is in MR Fluid, how it works and uses for this fantastic substance.
Transition: To begin, I will let you guys know a little bit about the history of MR fluid.
Body
I.) Brief History
A.) According to University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, MR Fluid was discovered by Jacob Rabinow in the early 1940s.
B.) It has just recently come into use because we have finally obtained the means to control the magnetic fields that are necessary to have control over the substance.
Transition: Now that you know a little bit about the history of MR Fluid, I will tell you what MR Fluid is made of.
II.) What MR Fluid is made of
Transition: Next, lets move on to how this substance works.
III.) How it works
Transition: Now that you know how it works, I will tell you some uses for the substance.
IV.) Uses
A.) smart structures
B.) bulletproof vests
C.) suspension and brakes
D.) washing machine
E.) prosthetic limbs
Transition: Now that I have told you a little bit about the history of MR Fluid, what MR Fluid is made of, how it works and some uses of MR Fluid, I leave you with this.
Conclusion: Given what has been accomplished in the amount of time that scientists and engineers have had complete control over the substance, it is clear that MR Fluid has a very solid future.

Good speech today! I learned about something that I was unfamiliar with.
I enjoyed hearing about this, I a planning on building a new machine of my own. So it was nice to get a brief on the new chips that were out their.
