    I just check my account on Dell.com and i saw the placed an order for my replacement system.
    The other specs are the same except i saw they add core 2 duo 2.0ghz to my system. Is this for real or not??
    I wish they change the graphic card, but this pleased me enough. I noticed that they miss out the bluetooth. It's now on testing process, probably i'll get it soon on next week. Finally get a replacement system for the deadly blue screen dell i'm having.
