    Despite the announcements and spec sheets, it doesn't appear that you can actually order a Dell Latitude D830 with either the Intel Turbo Memory feature or the optional nVidia graphics adapters. My Dell rep says those options will be available "later" but doesn't know when. Anybody have the scoop on this?

    Seems to be the norm with most manufacturers. I'd say within a month we'll see a lot of news on this topic.

    Based on the AnandTech review at least, it may be that the Turbo Memory is running into some problems and so some manufacturers are waiting until they get cleared up before offering it as an option.

    It'd be hardly fitting for one to pay extra money for less performance...

    If that's the case I would prefer they offer laptops without the option so I can get an 8M series GPU now :) It's hard to wait...

    I think this would fit better into the Dell forum. Moving...
