Intel should be selling dual core mobile CPUs in January which means 
Dell will be selling them in January.
I don't know if they will be enabling EMT64 in them, if they don't it 
will be their last remaining CPU that doesn't have AMD64 extensions 
except for Celerons which in *my* opinion no one under any circumstances 
should be buying anyway because a quick look at their benchmark 
performance on hardware sites in anandtech say it all and thats for all 
Celeron generations.

This has been the question of my future laptop upgrades thoughts, do I 
want dual core laptop or another AMD64. I can say that I have got a bit 
bored of using my AMD64 laptop and believe I would be better off in 
terms of speed have 2 CPUs in 1.
