    Can the M1530 support Anything faster than the 667?

    If not, how come?

    Just seems awfully slow for the processor it has.

    Santa Rosa supports the 667mhz and 800mhz, but it downscales 800mhz down to 667mhz. Montevina however supports 800mhz and uses it at 800mhz without downscaling.

    ...Benchmarks between 667 and 800?

    Depending on cost it looks like people should be waiting for this.
