    Well, we finally got the 8800m gtx for the xps so it's a matter of a short wait for penryn to hit the uk.

    If you already have yours then there is nothing to worry about, unless you really have the 'need for speed' you won't notice any real difference.
    Prices will probably be higher or the same, to get rid of T7xxx stock.

    I am happy with my speed but if the penryn can lower heat and get more battery life..this is a tough one unless is really expensive. cause I didn't wanna miss out on the discount for the M1330 awhile back.

    Truly appreciate the heads-up on this 'Wurger'. The rest of the online Dell family of websites can't be too far away in the update schedule. :)

    Five star thread.

    The link is now working correctly. Dell is now officially offering the 2.2ghz to Penryn 2.5Ghz upgrade (9300) for $125 AUD.

    Finally!!!!

    I still see it on the Australian site.

    Hopefully this means we can drop in Penryns, and Dell isn't using some special BIOS (or will at least release that BIOS).
