    I don't think there's any issues with Penryn processors.

    Penryn = Core 2 Duo. Penryn is just a codename.

    Merom, Merom-2M, and Penryn are all branded under the "Core 2 Duo" moniker.

    What issues with Penryn? My T9300 (Penryn) runs with no problems at all. Unless you can be more specific on what "problems" you are referring to...
