    Does anyone have any clue when these will be available, or what the models are. Ive been searching but cant find any release dates.

    I ask becasue im wondering when the computer companies (mainly dell) are going ot put these processors on there laptops. i called and they said they had no clue.

    If no one knows, can anyone tell me what the difference woudl be between teh 667 mht and 1066 mht fsb's?

    thanks alot

    first, it's MHZ not MHT.... next, dell will tell you nothing. I asked when they will sell vista the day before it came out and the person said i don't know... i called a few other times and no one knows. as for your question, i don't know, but you could just OC what you have

    The only notebook with that 1066mhz FSB is the:

    Clevo D900C (a.k.a. Sager 9260, Pro-Star 9191, etc..)

    [​IMG]
    This is, in fact, the world's fastest notebook. PERIOD.

    Highlights:
    - 17" LCD (up to WUXGA)
    - desktop Core 2 Duo/Extreme
    - up to 4 gigs DDR2
    - SLI (dual videocards) high-end DX10 modular videocards (will initially ship with 7950GTX's)
    - 3 internal HDDs (up to 750gigs of HDD space when new 250gb HDDs are available)... w/ RAID 0,1,5

    There is nothing close (out of any other ODM or OEM). PERIOD.

    When Intel makes a mobile processor that has 1066MHz bus. Right now, they are just barely coming out with 800MHz, so don't expect 1066MHz anytime soon. Maybe penryn will be that, but if anything it will be this time in 2008 that you will see it.

    well by looking at what you posted Gophn, that laptop may do 1066mhz fsb, BUT the RAM speed is only 667mhz, so then its not doing 1066mhz its doing 667mhz fsb because thats the fastest the RAM can handle...

    The ram is not the bottle neck so the ram is not really the problem. A FSB of 1066 is quad pumped as intel calls it I think. 4 * 266 = 1066
    533mhz ram is the same but its listed as 2 * 266 which is 533. So moving from 533mhz ram to 667 or even 800mhz doesnt make much differance since the bandwidth of DDR2 533 = FSB 1066. You can see this with the desktop CPUs too. It does give a little more speed but nothing much.

    The E6600 has a FSP of 1066 and as you can see the Ram makes little differance. There are many tests of this sort online.

    Umm kid, why would Intel go through all the trouble to make a 1066MHz bus cpu and then stick it with 667MHz ram and have it run at 400MHz less according to you? You really think that's what happens?

    Like wave said, the fsb is quad pumped, so it runs at 266 normally. That's well below the 333MHz that the dual pumped ram runs at.

    Also, the Asus C90, C91, which will be released. They are also based on desktop conroe processors, so theoretically you could pop in a Quad Core too.

    Hmm quad core in a laptop.... I sure hope that cooling unit works really well at dissipating heat! :p

    Too bad the Xeon L5310/L5320 series quad core (50 watt total) CPUs can't fit since they are socket 771.
