    Not until Montevina comes out. Not like there are many practical WiMAX locations around anyways.

    From what I hear, WiMAX companies have been saying the technology has gone BUST. Maybe its because the tech is new, maybe not.

    And the router prices will be off the charts...

    And I also heard in some recent laptop it failed to meet expectations, it failed TERRIBLY badly.

    What is the major difference between the current Intel Core™ 2 Duo (Penry) and the upcoming Montevina?

    wimax won't be around for at least a year.. i don't know where people get this idea that it here now.. they've just barely started testing the technology. it will be 2-3 years before wimax is norm

    No offence intended, but if you were able to navigate to and sign up at this forum then surely you can type the word "WiMAX" into google?

    I'd guess a 30 second search is faster than waiting for a reply here.
