    6. Core 2 Duo is, for now, engineered to drop right into current Pentium D/EE (LGA775) motherboards. This will make upgraders happy—especially those who bought the latest and greatest PC last summer—and system manufacturers, who don't need to buy a bunch of different parts—yet.
    Is that so

    well that is complete bull


    8. Today, only business PCs have the TPM 1.2 protection chip built in. With Core 2 Duo, all PCs will be protected. TPM (Trusted Platform Module) protects your passwords, logons, and personal data at a hardware level from hackers, spyware, and identity thieves.
    and that right there is the Deal killer for me
