    Firstly has there been any news on when the C90P will be out? I haven't been able to find anything on it lately.

    Secondly do you think its a good idea to wait for it? How much longer do you think the new chipset will extend the upgrade life of the laptop? and will current lower end cpus be compatible with it? I ask because on wikipedia it says bearlake only supports 1333FSB while even the E6600 is only 1066 FSB

    Thanks

    Is there any speculation based on previous releases on how much intel's new 1333FSB processors will cost? Because right now the most attractive thing about the C90 to me is the bang for buck you get. If waiting for the C90P means having to pay a couple hundred extra dollars then to me it wouldn't be worth it...

    The E6750 is approximately the same price as the E6420

    Not sure if 'P' will be the suffix, cause the G1 and G2 already used the 'p' suffix last generation :p

    I'm not sure that it'll be cool. I mean, m8700 gt is not so good. And I think, that it'll be top card for c90p. Or maybe I'm wrong? Somebody knows anything about 9600gt or 8800gtx? Is it possible to install them into c90p?

    MXM II has a 25W TDP. The 8700M GT is 29W, the 65nm revisiom, 9650M GS should be under 25. The 9650M GT & 9700M GT are the highest yo ucan hope
