64 bit in Merom vs 32 in Core Duo.
4 MB Cache in Merom vs. 2MB in Duo
Higher clock speeds in Merom
More power per watt in Merom
Less heat in Merom
Overall, if you need a computer for more than 1 year or 1.5 years, wait. If you're like me, get something now. It all depends on how long you want to keep the computer and what you do with it.

Merom is more looking to the future, while Core Duo is a fine chip right now. The only thing I can think of the Core Duo have over Merom is that you can buy it now
