    yeah but the GPU is, well, beyond being an 8400 (and therefore f*cked up by nvidia), still grossly underpowered.

    @DJ - You can find some better deals on the M1530 out there. That deal is not too good considering it is QVC. Buy direct from dell. I saw a 8600GT with those specs for around $1100 US at one time.
