Actually, if I didn't have to get one now, I would wait. I'll not wait for the dual-core AMD, but I'll wait for the quad-core. After all, these dual-cores are just a transition time for the chip producers. Intel just announced that they'll be coming out with the quad cores sometime in Q1 2007 (can't remember which Q it was..) > > Nobody is currently producing laptops that can have over 4G of memory > (in fact, 2G is the max today in a laptop).
