Not much of an improvement over the Core Duo. For SuperPI, my machine does 2M digits in 64 seconds. Nice processor - definitely - worth upgrading - no way.

OK - dumb question: The Mermon is supposed to be the notebook processor, but that is not yet available. Can we 5760 owners put a Conroe chip in our machines? p.s. Good review: http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/200...cessors/1.html

swim2383 Please let me know what you learn. I am on my second 5760 and I find the noise to be next to untolerable. Sadly, this is the only computer on the market that seems to meet my needs. I am going to explore other graphics cards...

Is it possible to use one of the 5720 video cards in the 5760?
