    Well just out of curiosity, i noticed, that dell is no longer offering the Nvidia 8600m gt, they only offering only the 8400 in this system, is this just coincidence? they gonna finaly take out the m1530 and m1330 systems? and if we, happy customers of the m1530, get in some trouble with this graphics card, they probably gonna replace with a Studio XPS 16? of similar specs? cause they wont have 8600m for replacement? i dont know about u but i dont like te studio xps 16, first bigger, heavier, and not as stylish as the m1530 besides that ati 3670 doesnt look like can match the 8600m gt! what do u guys think?

    maybe... but no rumors about a new dell 15"...

    so i guess the studio xps 16 is the new 15" category... kinda sucks though

    (and dell.com only offers pink for m1530 :p)

    i guess clearing out stock....

    and my m1330 just died...

    out of warranty? they should replace it, is this the first time it fries?my gpu just fried once, it was replaced in february this year, and has been running ok, has hitted a max of 90 c, with heavy overclocking and wont downclock, artifact, or anything, i always play overclocked and have played more than two hours overcloked at 84-89 c without a problem with arctic silver applied, so hopefully i got a good gpu and if not, hoppefully will die in time to get a Studio XPS XD ! srry to hear about your gpu!
