1. I'd get one if I had any confidence that Yonah, even in it's single core variation would be a down the road possibility for Sonoma based systems. In the absence of any clear statement on this, the assumption is "probably not". And after the 925XE debacle of short lifetime chipsets I'm none to inclined to jump into the Sonoma pile.

Turion will offer 64 bit (unchallenged) which may not be much appeal, but it offers a continuous cpu upgrade path, potentially even including dual core options, all things which Intel simply is uninclined to match.

Intel seems to have totally given up on any kind of extended product lifetime and that will definitely hurt it going forward in this area, imo.
