    I doubt AMD will have the best bang for buck if you are going to get the X2 as soon as it comes out. A lot of people will be willing to pay more just because it's new..

    Anyway, in the past it seems Intel has made better laptop CPUs, not GPU mind you. The Athlon was alright with the exception you only get a 30 minute battery life.

    Compaq V3000Z

    HP and Acer(ferrari 5000 & 1000) should have more but expect them to be available only in July or so.

    yeah I saw the HP 2000z had them, but only the low end ones and they were more expensive then similar core duos

    thanks, sorry for being stupid but as it says under my name....I'm a newbie
