Merom 2nd gen 2nd Q 2007. I'll keep my 9300 until a month or so after that.

Neither.

I put merom, but I doubt I will bite on it. I think my XPS will probably last me for a bit longer than that. I want a performance bump like going from my old ATI9600 to the nVidia 7800.

Yeah, neither. I do hope my computer is still considered plausible by that time.

As of now I haven't seen any reason to wait that long, no siginificant enhancements have been announced for 2nd gen merom (yet).

Merom for me, mostly because thats around the time I would be upgrading anyway.

I think I am gona stick with my plans and order the new Dell E1705 Notebook. Even though merom is coming out in September. I can't wait that long. Plus it gona be first generation anyway. And I don't think their gona be a lot of apps taking advantages of 64 Bit right away. Maybe by the end of 08 or 09, the whole tech world would be using 64 Bit. So I think I will build a desktop with merom technology, before I get a notebook with merom. I want to learn more merom and see what the new technolfy on it. Thx for the Poll

my i9300 will have to last me until 2008 or 2009, whenever the quadcore 64bit notebooks should be starting to come out. i want to skip dualcore all together, and go straight to quadcore.

Yet being the word here . I fully expect to see a few slight enhancements and bug fixes in it.

If Merom was out, I'd get it.. but seeing how I gotta wait a whole year for it, no point in waiting any longer..Seeing how all my laptops have developped the death syndrome, I kind of need/want a laptop now.. not a year from now..

so.. it's Yonah for me.. when it becomes outdated, I'll probably get a Dual Core Turion 64 bit based lappy (somewhat redundant statement I guess?)..
