    Can the Asus W3J be upgraded to the Merom processor? I saw another thread about a BIOS update being relesased for the S96J...but what about the W3J. Will there be a BIOS update for that? Any ideas will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Very common question... do a search... general consensus... No reason for Asus not to update the bios

    Most Core Duo chipsets are ready to go with Merom. As was said before, the thing about the BIOS needs to be in place, so make sure that you can indeed use a Merom with your version of BIOS
