Merom in MacBook and MacBook Pros in September?

Kevin C. Tofel writes "If you want to see where the computer industry is going, you often have to watch the computer component manufacturers, and that's just what DigiTimes did. AsusTek and Quanta both produce Apple notebooks and sources appear to have just revealed that September is the month for 64-bit Merom CPUs in the MacBook and MacBook Pro line."

64 or 32 bit ??

[Harmonious Botch]

All this talk about 64 bits...on wires, for god's sake!! In my day we had to push the eletrons around by hand.
And it was uphill... both ways.
And when it snowed, the gates froze up and we had to execute the same instruction over and over until spring thaw.
64 bits?? You youngsters have it easy!!!

And you kids will have a real hard time pushing those 64-bits through the tubes, too!

Is your shift key broken or are you trying to write some bizzare kind of modern poetry?

...I'm officially declaring Spring 2007 "but a new labtop" season.

Not to be a grammar nazi or a spelling nazi or both, but only on /. could a statement such as this be "interesting"

Core Duo is a great chip. If you're kicking yourself over getting an Intel Mac, don't. This year's Core 2 Duo Macs would be made obsolete next year anyway,

This is such complete bullshit. At least when I was buying a PowerPC based Mac I could know that there would be 4-5 years between PowerPC generations, but now with this Intel crap my computer is obsolete the minute it rolls off the assembly line. Bring back the PowerPC!!!
