Presumably Intel will try to price up NGA and price down P4 stuff, but it's unclear how well that will work.

Q4 should certainly remain difficult in mobile, with Merom not launching until some time toward the end of it.

This is why I don't understand them pricing Conroe at $600.

BTW, is this a desktop or a laptop chip? If things are as they
are now, I'm inclined to buy a Dell notebook with a lot of
computing horsepower (the 2 GB limit is a pain but they do have
the 17 inch WUXGA displays). If not, then I could get a desktop
as well but I'd probably need another machine as well.

Of course if AMD undercuts Conroe with something like an FX-60,
I'll entertain that too. Or maybe get one of each. If I don't
get something sooner.
