    Hey dont know if anyone has tested merom yet but i had the t7400 sample. These are the figures i got with a 7200rpm drive and 1gb (512mb x2) with the latest bios which now support merom.
    3DMark 05 - 3881
    PCMark 05 - 4730
    --CPU - 5489
    --Memory - 4286
    --Graphics - 3071
    --HDD - 3937

    For some reason the pcmark score was overall much higher however the hdd and graphics was a bit lower. 3dmark05 came back about 10% higher.

    The 3dmark scores were posted before, but it's the first time i saw the PCmark benchmarks, and I have to say, i'm impressed ;)

    about 800 points more than with the T2500 processor.. not bad

    Eddie. Where did you get the updated bios? Assuming you are using it... and can you please do some battery tests with the Merom? And what were you getting with 3D mark 05 before? Because I get a little over 3800 with my t2400. Currently using brand new ATI mobility CAT 6.7, but I got about 3750 with the stock Asus drivers.

    read my review on our forums. I updated it. Didnt test the battery yet. Doesnt look like i will get to do that either till they are in mass production.
