    Uhh Ebay, Dell? Most surefire way to get stuff. The Marketplace here is also useful when people part out entire laptops.

    Dell was the first place I called looking for the part I need and they were unable to supply it, which is weird i thought. Yeah I know ebay of cause but I remember stumbling onto a site a while back that hard full part breakdowns and good prices, hopeing to find simular again :)

    I might be in the market for a CPU -- does anybody know of anywhere other than ebay that sells the 2860QM? Also, as it's a very new CPU, is it worth waiting for a year for the price to drop? (I'm getting the laptop through work, but it comes with a 2670QM as that's the only way I could get it under budget with a 580M in there and I figured the CPU would be the easier part to purchase if I wanted to upgrade).

    Have a look at Google Shopping?

    eBay is the cheapest and best place. Got my brand new 2860QM OEM chip for £380 from Taiwan in approx 4 days thanks to free FedEx, did a bit of negotiation and got a bargain imo. However the chip costs like £10 more on the Dell site !

    ES/QS chips will cost a lot cheaper, and if you opt for the older 2820QM even more cheaper.

    Google shopping -- finds it on various sites, but they are all out of stock.

    From ebay, was that "PC-Best-Buy-1"? (I can't see anyone else selling them). I was a bit sceptical about ordering from Taiwan, wasn't sure anything would actually turn up.
