    Should be able to. But it just fills a gap in the current lineup, really. If you want to upgrade the processor, I'd wait for Ivy Bridge. At least then you could choose between a technologically newer chip or a cheaper-than-now and faster Sandy Bridge chip.

    It is likely coming to the other countries, probably need to run their stock of the original chips down first is my guess.
