    you know that meroms are coming out like about june
    but i need a laptop in about that time
    and i don't want to be the first ones to buy a new hardware
    so i'm thinking of buying a yonah, which are basically a 64-bit processors too but just that they are blocked or something (i read it on a site)
    SO!
    can I upgrade to meroms from yonahs?\
    and if not, give me the reasons plz!
    thanx
