    id wait, ul get may be a new model, the santa rosa is not too far, vista drivers will be getting better as time goes on so a little patience may pay off real well.

    Good luck

    even if HP introduces the new platform, it will not immediately discontinue the core 2 duo, if anything the santa rosa will be an option at a higher price but the question is, what will the price difference be ?

    I'd wait, if not for the video chipset update alone.
