    It all depends on whether or not HP releases a BIOS update that supports the Core 2 Duo. I'm not sure if anyone knows yet whether it will work or not.

    To answer your second question, probably mid- to late Sept. maybe early October. That's another question no one really has a direct answer to yet.
