I hear ya, I've been holding off as long as I can. This is good news. I was close to just going with a good x48 mobo and a c2q.

It's going to be at least a year.

The mobile chips aren't slated for release until Q3 2009.

Should we expect HUGE price differences between this socket/procs' vs. the L7A775/C2Q/C2D's??

I mean, I'm sure the mobos' alone will be $300+..

No it wont, you'll still be able to do everything on your computer you used to, just like when I upgraded from my Athlon 64 x2 to a cored 2 duos, i noticed little difference day-to day other that app startup. Windows startup is still like a dog.
