    Hi there,

    Can you explain to me the pros and the cons of the Santa Rosa chipset in an ultraportable?
    Will produce more heat? And battery life?
    I mean is worth waiting for an ultraportable to include this chipset or from the Napa doesn't change so much?

    Also, a quick question...does the wireless 802 type only work for santa rosa based laptops? cause I have an hp nx9420,with the t2300 CPU, and 667 MHz FSB,it`s awesome for work and school,and I`d love a better wireless link for it...

    It is possible but wifi 802.11N will require a third antenna which old versions lack. If you can add a new one then you should be able to upgrade to any wireless N card. But you have a HP system and they usually have a BIOS lock on the wireless cards which means no third party upgrades to the wifi are possible.

    You know Santa Rosa has been out a while. I would post a new thread with this question in the hardware forum. You should get more responses that way. This thread is so old no one is paying much attention to it anymore.

    Hi, sorry for digging up

    But does the Santa Rosa have the "CPU whine"?

    I answered you in the other thread that you asked the same question in, but her it is again.

    "Yes it does. It just varies from CPU to CPU, if, and how much."

    I am interested in a new notebook with a long battery life. Intel also has the new Penryn chips. Is that newer and/or better than the Santa Rosa?

    Penryn is a CPU, Santa Rosa is a platform.
    A penryn CPU in a Santa Rosa platform gives a very nice battery life all around.

    Yes, the new Montevina platform will be out this year, I hear it is to be released in early June with laptops coming out with the tech shortly afterwards.
