    I checked dell this afternoon and the i9300 no longer had a 256 nvidia card! The good thing is that they're selling dual core laptops but I can't afford them. Is the nvidia card really gone for the i9300?

    Brian said he heard they were on short supply.

    It may also be because it was way cheaper and too close in performance wise to the i9400 and the M170 LOL!

    On most build-to-order sites, certain options will occasionally disappear if availability is low. I'd just wait a week and check again. As stated, they might just be low on them and waiting on more cards to come in stock.
