But its very possible to find old chips from other sources, to say once intel stops making it, it will be impossible to find, is simple not true. That said it might be harder to find then it was when intel was still making it

The fact is, these Merom's are only going to be an interim solution for the next few months until the new versions come out early next year. Processors that are only available for such a short time will be very hard to get hold off 2 - 3 years down the line.

Can you please post a pointer to the roadmap that says that Merom will change sockets in a few months? Everything I've heard about Santa Rosa is that it uses the same socket as Napa.

I thought that I've been paying attention during my NDA meetings with Intel, but I've missed that one.
