5920 Santa Rosa

Do all the current 5920 models have the new Intel Santa Rosa chipset?

 

Take a look at the chipset # in the specs of the machine. Depending on what that is, you can figured out if it's Santa Rosa or Napa.

Thanks for replying;

The problem is ... I don't have a 5290 and I am looking at various online shops who are stating that its a 5290 and that it is a Core 2 Duo ... and thats about it :-( ... so from ur reply 5290 come in 2 varieties Santa Rosa and Napa and without 'somehow' checking out the chipset spec there is no way of determining whether it is one or the other, i.e. there is no letter after the 5290 that determines that it is one or the other?

This is the one I am looking at:

That's the santa rosa chipset because of the cpu. The T7300 is a cpu for the SR platform.

And anyway, the specs of the machine should display the chipset. And in this case it does. If you scroll down you'll see: " Mobile Intel� GM965 Express chipset"

There you go.

 

Tops, thanks for that ... i will try to do more reading next time
