Macs have had them for some time... and every major manufacturer has them now too.
Socaddict said:the mobile conroe/core 2 duo is the merom core, which is what you are after.
Desktop core 2 duos come in 2 forms, the allendale core (with 2MB shared L2 cache) and the conroe core (4MB shared L2 cache). The former is represented by the E6300 and E6400, the latter by the E6600 and above.
They're all great chips regardless of which ones you get.

dokko said:Right so (in terms of laptops) Merom is the 4mb cache (the 6600 equivilent) and the normal core 2 duo is the 2mb versions.
Ok, got ya.
