    Seems like I got lucky. (Free upgrade to T5600 from T5500)

    I was one of the first ones who ordered XPS M1210 w/ Merom on Aug. 28.

    When I placed my order, the lowest CPU option was T5600 (1.83GHz), and the machine was priced at $1200 w/ T5600 for the base system.

    I just went there and checked again, the option becomes T5500 (1.66GHz) now and there's no T5600 option. AND the price did NOT change!

    It is like having a free upgrade on my CPU ...
