Lock.
This question should be in one of the other duo threads. Furthermore if you go to Intel's web site and do 5 minutes worth of reading you could answer your own question. ...into the light of a dark black night. |

Not 64 bit, it's 32 bit.
Also, its socket 479, but they've moved a pin around making it incompatible with the old Socket 479. |

As long as their not running on Pentium 4s, I'm happy. What a colossal faliure those chips were. "Scalable to 10 GHz" is what they said... right, as long as your bringing in glacial ice water to cool it. Logic, logic, logic. Logic is the beginning of wisdom, Valeris, not the end. |

Nice rundown BlueMan,
Quickie note - just because the Mac Book Pro is not 64-bit, that doesn't mean it's a sub-par offering (I know you're not saying that - just don't want people to get the wrong impression). Hell, it's the fastest notebook processor currently available (besides the DTRs which have full-fledged desktop processors and 15 minute battery lives). The reason I just plunked down $3K for an MBP, AppleCare, and a Brenthaven Pro backpack is because my craptacular IBM StinkPad (1.8GHz Pentium M - not bad) ate it last week ("it" being the wood floor in my office - bye bye StinkPad ), and I was literally counting down the days to the keynote since then because I have not had any decent computer to work from since. My Mac mini, while a great machine, simply can't cut it for some of the work I do on a day-to-day basis, and I work all over the house and in my backyard. My Mac mini has no AE so it is pretty much tethered to my office. So I needed a new notebook now, and I wanted a Mac notebook, and I wanted the best one available, so I bought it now (holding to our addage here at AppleNova - if you need it now, buy it now, if you don't, then wait). And when it arrives for all of us who ordered it, it will still be the fastest (Mac and maybe non-Mac) notebook available. Pretty cool, and well-priced IMO. Cheers, Wraven |
