    just wondering if they will ever consider unlocking the overclocking feature..
    because i am thinking of selling mine (see my sig) and buying new one (with T9300 2.5Ghz) ..with WUXGA and new 1 year warranty.(not gonna lose mouch money)
    so that if they might unlock this feature i won't sell it. (3.2Ghz is wow) :p
    any advices? i am confused.

    It might be easier to just buy the new CPU from AW and Sell the old x9000 on ebay or something. Technically you should get money back if you do that.
    As far as the overclocking feature of the x9000 I doubt that it will ever be done on a m15x due to the possible heat issues that might happen.
