    I was going through Dell's website today and noticed the SXPS 1340 with Ubuntu pre-installed still has the option of a 9500M (GE) present. Is there some utility to actually have the 9200M GS do anything useful or...? I found it particularity odd as they removed several other options (e.g. the P8700 CPU, 500GB 7200 RPM hard drive, etc.) and left the one hardware feature that isn't supported on Linux (i.e. Hybrid SLI).

    The fact that the only OS-configuration they are offering support for is already unsupported by its creator is also rather unusual let alone the fact that the Ubuntu versions still cost more than the Windows counterparts....
