umm... intel's core duo seems like a joke!
r u kidding socket 478- meaning no pci-e! no 64-bit!!!
that really sucks man...
throw me some details about their P3 architecture chips in the next year i was hoping to build something with dual P3-type cores.

Its actualy socket 479 and the core duo and P M both suported PCIe, its just that most people used a socket 478 adaptor because the motherboards for these chips arent that great. Remember these are notebook chips, so some desktop motherboards might not have tons of features. But there is going to be a sweet core duo AOpen board based on the 975X chipset and its going to support crossfire coming out soon.

If you're wondering about there new "P3 like" architecture its called conroe, first off.

then why does newegg sell the core duo as a socket 478 proc?

i know.. conroe... but what about it, i want specs i dont feel like googling it haha...
and i know, theyre laptop procs... but what if i dont want crossfire i prefer SLI

'Cause neweggs wrong

Then you wait for nvidia to release drivers for intel chipsets or for nvidia to make a core duo chipset.
