    Hi

    As you can see I have an I1520 on order already, i'd still like to know the follwoing:

    Seeing as a couple of people are getting their new shiny I1520's i'd like to ask if it is possible to enter the bios and OC the CPU. The reason I'm asking is that in Denmark Dell charges around $180 more to go from the T7100 to the T7300 and an additional $185 to go T7300->T7500.

    Seeing the I1520 keeps quite cool I don't think heat will be a problem

    Thx in advance ;)

    No, Dell locks the bios so you can't OC the CPU.

    and even if they did, the speed difference between the T7100 and T7300 is the amount of L2 cache which it can't change...
