It shouldn't really matter you. All this means is that the Merom chips are no longer being produced (or wont be soon) and the only ones available from Intel will be whatever they have in their warehouses after production stops. This announcement was basically for hardware manufacturers to tell them that once Intel's stock of Merom chips is gone, that's it. They're no more.
Actually the new MacBook Pro's that have speed bumps (2.2, 2.4, 2.6 GHZ) are Santa Rosa processors running on the Santa Rosa chipsets. Merom MBP's (I have the 2.33 17" Santa Rosa... sad that my processor is so outdated!!) were running at 2.16 and 2.33 GHZ.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
How do I know if my Mac has a Merom chip in it?

If I remember correctly, any Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro has a Merom processor.

Mac Mini has Merom in it. Just order a T7200 for mine.
