    Was looking on Dell UK site & Dell US & noticed that M15x was not available to configure.With the recent release of the new bios for the M15x i am thinking a revision 2 must be in the pipeline very soon.

    I don't think a refresh is coming, just some new gpus eventually.

    It's off Dell's site but you can still get to it through AW site.

    It's more likely that they're having trouble with the supply of one or more of the parts. That has already happened a couple of times.

    Edit: Kind of weird that the i7 620 is 120GBP more expensive than the i7 720 on the UK site!

    http://configure.euro.dell.com/dell...en&m_30=322839&oc=N00W1501&rbc=N00W1501&s=dhs

    BTW It's still on the site and you can still personalise it.

    http://configure.euro.dell.com/dell...en&m_30=322839&oc=N00W1501&rbc=N00W1501&s=dhs

    They were probably just working on the site or something.

    I can see the m15x, and I been watching the site since the BIOS update. No changes that I can see yet.

    U guys think the M15x will get newer GPU earlier than M17x? I think CrossFire might still be a problem for M17x
