They'll have the processors T2060 or T2080, which identifies them as being a Core Duo derivative. They can also be found in HPs and Dells, though I don't feel like digging up links to those.
Also, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_In ... _Dual_Core
Basically, they're T2050 or T2250s with half the cache cut away.

I think the humour of it is the punctuated redundancy in the statement. Even now, looking at it again, I started laughing again.Beowulf wrote:I'm a programmer.

Quick question. Has anyone used or seen a Dell M1210? I'm interested in getting a light but powerful portable since I do carry it around for work.
Current laptop just died on me today with it refusing to boot up and instead light up its LEDs and since it is 3 years old and out of warranty I wonder if there's any point repairing it.

Your spirit, diseased as it is, refuses to allow you to give up, no matter what threats you face... and whatever wreckage you leave behind you.
