    Where can I buy a Dell Studio 1536 w/512MB graphics card? I checked the Dell site but there is no option to put the AMD processor. :confused:

    I would avoid the 1536 at all costs if I were you. The AMD processor has worse heat issues than the Intel-based 1535 and 1537. The 1536 was a retail-only configuration never actually offered by Dell on their own website.

    Treat yourself and get a 1555 instead, or at least a 1537.

    I agree with Mastershroom on this one! The 1555 is superior in almost every way!

    The 1536s currently available from the Dell Outlet only have a 2.0GHz AMD Turion X2 RM-70 processor, 15.4" WXGA (1280x800) displays and ATI Mobility Radeon HD3200 integrated graphics...not exactly a powerhouse. ;)

    Not everyone needs a power house ;)

    I'd still advise to avoid the 1536 though. I don't think I've ever seen a post from a happy 1536 owner......
