Yields are OK, they built 3M in January. I think Dell is not pushing DC or the public doesn't realize it's importance. They price diff should be 0 as you state, but I don't see that. Maybe it isn't going to happen until the SC plug is pulled or there's an undercurrent of the advantages. Two months ago there was one Sony Core Duo at CC with a higher price. Smooth

Re: Why not put DC Yonah in every notebook and lower the price to Turion levels or lower? Dell probably is getting Yonah at Turion prices. I was configuring a Dell Inspiron E1505 notebook for a friend today and for $800 with free shipping he can get this: Yonah 1.66GHz 15.4" XGA screen 1GB DDR2-533 60GB HD 8x DL DVD burner Windows XP MCE 2005 Estimated ship date is 4/11. Anyone know where he find a comparible Turion MT-34 (or better) system for roughly the same price? Windows XP Home instead of MCE would be fine.

Petz, Re: I figure Intel is likely to do the opposite of anything I tell them to do.> I surely hope so, and it sounds likely. I'm sure I have this wrong, but my view of INTC management is one where an initial position is reached by bullying consensus, gang warfare. Then, once consensus is reached fealty must be pledged to the consensus. It's the only way I can see some of the things that happen over there happening. "Copy Exactly". But if an actual thought is injected somewhere who can tell what could happen? Beware the potential! -tgp
