    Ok so it seems the I9300 will be out by next week max. And Dell has 25% off the I9200.
    So my question is, will the I9200 remain in stock even after the I9300 is out? The 25% off is tempting, but if the price difference isn't too large the nVidia 6800 sounds nice!
    Do dell usually keep an old model in stock even after the replacement is out?

    dell's business model is "just in time inventory." what that means is that they have no real warehouses and therefore, no "inventory." when they discontinue a model, it's gone. you may be able to pick one up from ebay or something, but dell doesn't keep inventory so there should be no such things a "new old stock" with dell.
