Should I just wait till a Turion X2 comes to market in the next month or two??
Seemed the Duo were faster than the Dothans and those seem to be a nice processor for the most part.

Why even look at turion? Personally I would only buy Intel powered laptop :) And new Merom laptops will have battery lives in the tens of hours :p:
I can get a DELL 9400 with T2400 chip , 2gb 667 mem , 17" monitor , and 60gb 7200 rpm for 1700
I think that will rock but will check into Merom laptops too
Well that depends on the battery, my Centrino II based laptop lasts for about 3 hours with the CPU dissipating under 2W - with the rest of the system dissipating a good 20W-30W, the CPU will make very little difference in battery life.Quote:

I'd like to see an update too, quite interested in getting a Yonah ES on my phase...
whys everyone so pumped to buy yonahs, from what I've read it still lags behind the x2/opteron...it consumes less power, but i figured you guys wouldn't be worrying about that...are you buying these because they're from intel and they're new, or do you know something that I don't...?
It`s XS - they just wanna OC it real good ;)Quote:

most people won't run their yonahs at def speed and 166 fsb.. as most people here didn't run their dothans at 133fsb and singclechan ddr333 like the original spec said ;)Quote:
