    Currently only found in the top-tier machines configurator. I would expect furthur developments in the coming hours/days regarding the rest of Dells premium offerings. :)

    So 2.4 to 2.5ghz is an 80 quid upgrade... but 2.5 to 2.6ghz is a £300 upgrade?! Are you sure he wasn't just lying to you, really really badly?! :eek:

    I bloody hope so, because that's insane.

    The T9500 is available online for the M1330 in the Small Business section and allowing for VAT, £300 upgrade over the T9300 sounds about what it was showing, a huge premium.

    The T9500 can take a long walk off of a short pier then, only a complete moron would pay triple figures for what the boosted spec. amounts to.
