Yes ... I looked at Turion 64 dual-core laptops briefly before buying
the desktop Athlon64 X2. There were some Turion 64 dual cores without
the virtualization assist, but I think they all have it now. The main
reason I didn't get a laptop is that I wanted a reasonable price for 4
GB of RAM and a fast hard drive, not because of the processors. :)
Besides, I think my next laptop will be a Mac because that's what most
of the Ruby geeks use. ;)
