    The last time I checked, the Turion X2 was slated to come out sometime this summer.

    Intel Hiding Features From Users?
    READ MORE: 64-bit, Intel, PCs
    It seems that the Intel Core Duo processors that are all the rage these days may be a little more powerful than Intel would have you know. Thanks to a little detective work, it’s been discovered that the processors, deep down inside, are actually 64-bit compatible. Yes, that Core Duo you have right now is a 64-bit chip. Intel openly admits that its Sossaman chips are 64-bit, but does not mention this fact about its consumer-targetted Yonah chips, despite the fact that the two are one in the same. What consumer (or geek) would not want to play around with a 64-bit Linux distribution, or Windows 64-bit for that matter? Intel may just have some explaining to do.

    In the roadmap from MSI ( here) it show a 17" laptop using core duo 64bits turion. Don´t know if that is true.

    And in the inquirer it says that AMD is releasing the core duo 64 for /06/06/06 in a exposition in taiwan. May be they will release the Turion x2 as a surprise? The MSI is located in taiwan.... maybe possibilities...
