    I'm running the last BIOS released, 3708...so I'm wondering what kind of Penryn support it has, as I can't find any info about what this BIOS supports. and, if those in the know would be so kind and tell, what's the fastest Penryn that's going to remain with a 35w tdp, as that's all my book will cool. :err:

    edit - how odd, I could have sworn I was in the Hardware Components and Aftermarket Upgrades forum when I posted this. :confused:

    NCIX.com already has the T8100, T8300 and T9300 listed, tho they're more available for pre-order then not.

    as for that link Shamtu, we just need to find out what BIOS they're running and whether or not they're compatible with our 5920G's! :D

    Why BIOS from NEW 5920G may be not compatabil with our ones?? It's the same platform with new processor.

    that comment was speculation...who knows what other changes could be made to the laptop, a revision of the hardware but still a 5920G. that's all I meant... :rolleyes:
