"Alviso also promised enhanced support for up to right USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports, four PCI express slots for components like graphics cards and TV-out ports, Chak added"
This refers to desktop systems - not notebooks.

The 600m also got the Dothan, although they didn't udpate the laptop otherwise. I was really hoping the 600m would be upgraded with faster memory and a better video card. I have been waiting for the Dothan to come out to get a new laptop, I wanted it to be the replacement for the 600m, but now I am not sure what I should get.299

I8600 and D800 with 755 (Dothan 2.0GHz) can be ordered right now, with the estimated ship date of 06/03 - not bad!

I am considering buying an i8600 with the new Dothan Chip; however, do you guy suggest I wait for the "Centrino2" platform to be available?

Centrino 2 won't be available before September at the earliest. Up to you to decide whether it's worth waiting.299

The chipset is for notebooks, but the article stated that there would be 4 PCI-E slots that cards could be added to.

I have to disagree. This is totally mobile. No desktop involved. This is new stuff.
More expansion....believe it. It's the real deal. And I know you're going to search like mad now!...............TD

Does anyone know if and when the 600m will be available with the 755 (2.0GHz) processor?

Alviso is Intel's DDR2 chipset for notebooks. In addition to PCI Express, it also brings Serial ATA and 533 MHz bus to Centrino.
