john3 i don't know wher eyou are getting your facts from but at anandtech's review shows it beats it by 20-30 percen tin every test. and notice how the guy said he's getting a alienware labtop. we're talking about a labtop here not a desktop. stop trying to be a fanboy here. the conroe which was at 2.6 isn't overclocked. if i remember correctly when conroe's are coming out they will be coming out in frequencies of 1.8-2.6 and then eventually extreme editions will come out which are even higher than 2.6.
