@Eracer - Price
"
But is it worth it to pay $100 more for a 2.2GHz Turion X2 than a 2GHz Core Duo which would have equal performance and longer battery life?
"

Has to be seen. You will buy the CPU only or the whole
package?
You argued in the past with (new) low 9xx prices at the desktop.
What could we see here in germany in the channel. The BIG
OEMs take LOWER!!! prices for AMD DC packages with the same!
specs as Intel. Should be an eye opener ...

Absolutely, for Windows Vista 64 compatability. And let's see some more review before we accept this one. I doubt very much this is a production system that was tested. (CPU produced Feb. 4 or earlier.)
