...And action! 16:30.

The main advantage of the Merom over the Yonah is that they are 64-bit processors. Right now the machines on the market are all using either a pure 32-bit OS (Most versions of Windows and some versions of Linux) or a 32-bit/64-bit Hybrid OS (Tiger and a few Linux distros). Currently the only pure 64-bit desktop OSes are bleading Edge Linux distros -- but Leopard and Vista will both run in pure 64-bit mode (as well as pure 32-bit for older machines) -- that's when the superiority of Merrom would become apparent.

How exactly will Leopard and Vista on a 64-bit Merom chip be superior to the 32-bit versions running on Yonah chips? The only thing I understand as the main difference is ability to access more memory, but what is there beyond that? I am wondering how relevant the difference even is going to be for notebooks over the next few years.

Wherever the action is, it isn't on the apple store. Still up!

And it doesn't look like the store's going to go down for the event.

My anticipation is just for the fact that i'm going to order a MBP... not that i think the C2D is going to make that much of a difference. I just refuse to order before the eminent update happens.

It doesn't make that much of a difference... true. I'm waiting more for the hope that the next update to the MBP fixes some of the complaints we've heard about with heat & noise & etc.

The event is an hour and a half long, so I'm still hoping.

I had the same thing about an hour ago at the Dutch store.

Quaint how you removed my sentence about the commonwealth.

Because it wasn't needed to answer the question

australian store works fine. dont see how a low key (from an apple) point of view portables cpu upgrade ties in to a photo technology show anyway?
