Well.... if we are to wait for a better one (anything electronical), we should not buy anything, ever.. we should just wait .. because the moment you buy it, chanses are it will be obsolete tomorrow..... These days only the value of optical systems is stable, because of the nature of the products. If it was good yesterday, it will be good in thousand years :-) (provided it is properly cared for..)

G'Day Acropolite,
Thats one company that I would "Never" buy anything from, he's always over stocked and "Over" priced.

The Core Duo have been around for a while. The Core 2 Duo is the latest and greatest.
