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."

There is more to AMD64 than 64-bit addresses. Look up one of my COUNTLESS RANTS to see the other features.
Why do you assume an AMD64 is just a K7 with 64-bit addressing?

Film may be archaic but as of yet it still beats digital in quality, er resolution. You can spend 10 tymes as much for a dslr and not get the resolution a film slr has. And if you don't get a dslr with a fullframe sensor the camera will crop what you see through the lens. The lowest priced fullframe dsrl I know of is Canon's EOS 5D which lists for more than $3000, ten tymes as much as I paid for my slr almost ten years ago and it's 12.8 MP sensor doesn't beat the resolution, er film grain, of my camera. And if you want a medium format camera you will easily pay 20 or 30 tymes as much for a digital over a film camera and not get s good a resolution. The one area digital can save money is when the photgrapher shoots roll after roll of film day in and day out. I've gone through 2 and 3 rolls of 36 exposure film in a day, at $20 per roll for both the film and to develop it that's $60-$80. The cost could be lower but most of the tyme when I have film developed I also get a cd for the photos as well. I'm hoping to get a film scanner srn so I can digitize the photos myself and save the cost of getting a cd.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to get a dslr, with a fullframe sensor. But before Canon released the EOS 5D thier EOS 1Ds Mark II was the cheapest fullframe dslr and it cost $8,000. And much like computers, as soon as you get it home, dslrs are dated.
