crazy good laptop general... its too bad you can't really overclock it or anything... could you by any chance take it out and put it in another mobo?? or is there no drivers to support it.. or even a mobo with the same socket?
**** that ****. **** no I'm not taking my MacBook Pro apart!
Pardon my French.
For a while there I though about getting another one of the chips, they sell them on Newegg. It's like $450 for the 2.16Ghz one. They are socket 478, and I dunno about motherboards. But I just couldn't justify it, what with my new E6600 on order and everything.
I haven't ordered mine yet, but I am going to get an E6600 as soon as they start being sold on Newegg. I thought about buying from other stores, but I know I can trust Newegg, Monarch, Tiger Direct and ZipZoomFly, so I'm just gunna wait til they're on one of those sites.

Edit: LOL look at one of the reviews for this CPU on Newegg:
Cons: No 64 bit ( i guess Merom will fix this its to bad that the macbook pro's processor is soldered to the motherboard) Apple ddnt get sole right to them No HT( personaly i nevver exspearenced intels hype... More » r threading. However i heard it was good at least beder than AMD hyper transport.)
Why is it people think that HyperThreading is the same thing as Hyper Transport? WTF?
