    As title says - the UK version of the XPS16 no longer has the options for quad cores from dell, and still comes with a HD4670.

    :(

    maybe they have ran out of processors.

    I have stopped trying to understand Dell sometimes. There must be a method in their madness

    I was kinda assuming that it was possibly a problem due to throttling/heat issues? (kind of an admission of guilt?)

    or maybe the UK is finally going to get the HD5730 mobo and they are just in transition?
