Does anyone use one of these and are they in fact much faster than a core duo 2?
I use a Proline 16803 camera and at full resolution the files are 32.4mb so with my core duo 2 laptop I can only process about 4 at a time and even then it can be a tad slow.

I am also looking at an I7 processor in a Toshiba Laptop but research so far seems to indicate that only the 720 and 820 I7 processors are 64 bit. Intel seems to quote what appear to be much slower processors than the core2 or I5 processors. I would be very interested to hear the thoughts of others on this one.
Toshiba seem to only have this processor in 18" screened laptops which makes them a rather heavy unit at about 4.5 KG.
The only thing I haven't been able to run on the el cheapo 64 bit sempron in the observatory is FocusMax. I haven't had any problems with Microsoft rejecting unsigned drivers yet.
