    It's wierd, but I suppose it's possible. I'm guessing they're just different parts from different warehouses. It's not surprising really, they probably just have a separate distribution center for anything they don't manufacture.

    I think that particular sound card plugs into the mini card or express card slot or whatever on the outside. I don't think it's internal.

    Just to confirm that Karan1003 is correct, the sound device is not an internal component of the notebook, so it will ship separately. You'll probably get your accessories before you get your notebook.
