The D610 uses the newer version of the Pentium-M (the 7X0 series with X
being a number between 3-7). The primary difference between the new 7X0
series and the former 7Y5 (Y between 1&6) series is a faster front side
bus and DDR2 compatibility. Check out intel.com for more info. In
addition to the new processor, the D610 uses the new Intel 915 mobile
chipset. Honestly the performance difference between the two doesn't
warrant an upgrade unless you can find a really slick deal. I have a
D610 with a P-M 760 (2.0GHz) and my younger brother has a 600m with a
P-M 745 (1.8GHz) and the difference is pretty minimal for most applications.

All D600/D610s have 14.1" panels.

Are you running SP2? I believe SP2 has a fix that will make it work. It
works fine on my I9300.

Thanks for the link and thanks to everyone. I think I will stick with my
D600 for now.
