    I was playing around with the M1530 configurator on the US site today. In the processor selection page, although the Penryn is not offered, there is a blurb at the top that mentions which video card you need to choose if you select a Penryn processor. Could the Penryns be available soon in the US?

    I venture that they will be offered late next week or early the following week when the current crop of deals/coupons expires.

    http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/07/dell-us-hints-at-bringing-penryn-to-m1530-whats-the-holdup/

    Nice to know the Penryn's come in days or even hours.

    But why is the T7250 suddenly incompatible with the GeForce 8600M GT? And why don't Penryn's work with the GeForce 8400 GS? And is this just in the USA?
