    I want to buy a D830 with T7300. I am thinking about replacing it with T7700 in the future. Is this thing feasible? Very difficult?

    Thanks for your input!!!

    The cost, which would include voiding your warranty, almost never justifies the benefit. Since you've already a T61, why get the Dell?

    ZaZ, why do I want to get a Dell? Not quite sure. I got a 30% Dell coupon. The funny thing is that for the current D830 after 30% discount cost almost the same as for T61 with same configuration :)
