Memrom vs. Conroe

[ezefosure]

The memroms are 64-bit versions of the conroe?
What are the benfits of a memrom over a conroe of the same clock speed and is there any software out there that uses the 64 bit capabilities of the memrom?

 

[Bl00dFox]

64bit is the memory bandwidth between CPU, northbridge and RAM.

And there are some OS's that support it.

Well, i have windows xp right now. Not the 64-bit edition. But i plan on going vista eventually, probably around 2 months after its released. Would it make any sense to get a memrom now, even though i dont have xp 64-bit edition?

Also, do the memroms OC as well as the conroes?

Merom is the Core 2 for mobile, it's very similar to Conroe.

 

[ezefosure]

Mobile? Umm, i'm confused. Like mobile pc's?

 

[Cromewell]

Yes, for laptops. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Core_2#Merom

like..... laptops/notebooks

EDIT: dang.. a split second too late haha

Oh. Ok. But they are 64 bit while the conroes are 32. How much of a difference does that make?

No, they are both 64-Bit.

You're probably thinking of the Core Duo's, which were 32Bit.

 

[ezefosure]

Oh. Ok. I probably am.

Who the hell told you that? Give them a smack upside the head.

64 bit refers to the integer registers in a CPU. It has nothing to do with bandwidth.
