64 bit?

Besides that, its pretty unknown, we have to wait for some people to get their hands on one, and review it.

Not necessarily. FPU (Floating Point Unit) in processors have been operating on 80-bit numbers for years already.
The most important advantage of 64-bit architecture is larger memory bandwidth. That's where Turion shines. Intel introduced EM64T (that's 64-bit memory addressing) into desktop CPUs recently and it's still not up to par with AMD memory bandwidth.

Nice lappie btw, but WXGA is not enough these days...

Only thing I have heard so far is widescreen and more than one model. I have heard rumours about a black version but I happen to doubt that.

Nothing confirmed though and nothing usefull comes up in google. Maybe the new model will concist of something else than jsut 4 digits? Else it will probably be named Ferrari 3600 or 3700 etc...

new ferrari will definately be widescreen? a black version would be sweet but then i doubt ferrari would be too happy, although imo it'd sell better.

Black, so the scratches would show even better
I'd get the new Ferrari if it wasnt pure plastic.
