    This is what I want:

    Intel® Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz;
    RAM 4 GB DDR2 667 MHz
    SSD 64Gb

    Where can I customize these specs and order it?

    Thanks.

    I know, i checked it, but for some reason they only offer 2.2Ghz processor, and I want 2.4Ghz (i've seen Dell XPS M1330 with a 2.4Ghz one somewhere before)

    It helps if you say where you are located. :rolleyes:

    It depends on current stock and location. That is why you see variations from place to place. If you really want T7700 procs, give them a call and ask.

    doesn't really matter because i plan to order on-line.

    I'm in Europe, but have friends in US who can buy it for me and then ship here.

    Ordering online depends on location. That is why you have different sites for different countries.
    Like I said, if there isn't that CPU option online, call them.

    Even if the warranty is transferrable (don't mistake a local transferrable warranty with an International one), you will need to find/buy an EU AC cord, drivers to update your WLAN card for the extra 2 EU channels (assuming you want them), etc.

    All that for 200MHz or so? I wouldn't bother as it doesn't really matter all that much what you manage to cram into an M1330, it will never be a super-number-cruncher :p

    Intel® Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz is not available at Dell US and UK but available at Dell Australia.

    SSD 64Gb is not available at Dell UK but available at Dell US and Australia.

    RAM 4 GB DDR2 667 MHz be better bought from a third party!

    Dell will offer the T7700 CPU in US and UK during Christmas!

    I'm sure if you give them a call, everything will be available everywhere
    Though you might have to wait a bit longer :)
