Intel should be selling dual core mobile CPUs in January which means Dell will be selling them in January. I don't know if they will be enabling EMT64 in them, if they don't it will be their last remaining CPU that doesn't have AMD64 extensions except for Celerons which in *my* opinion no one under any circumstances should be buying anyway because a quick look at their benchmark performance on hardware sites in anandtech say it all and thats for all Celeron generations. This has been the question of my future laptop upgrades thoughts, do I want dual core laptop or another AMD64. I can say that I have got a bit bored of using my AMD64 laptop and believe I would be better off in terms of speed have 2 CPUs in 1. Mike Michael W.
