    Hey Guys,

    Are the new Penryn's (Santa Rosa Refresh) the end of the upgrade
    path for the 5920G, or will the upcoming (Montevina) fit in our MB?

    I'm looking at upgrading my T5250 to an T9300, but I can wait a while if
    something else is coming.

    Right and never get T9300 is not worth it cause it does not come with new platform.

    And Montevina Penryns support FSB speed of 1066 and DDR3.

    So wait till Montevinas are out .
