    I'm looking to get a nice gaming laptop for college and a lot of people have recommended the Vostro 1500. However, I can only configure it with a 8400m gs on Dell's website. When I go to the tech specs, the 8600m gt is listed, but I can't configure the laptop with it. Anyone know whats going on?

    They don't. Haven't in a month or so actually.

    If you want a 86600M in the Vostro 1500, you'll have to try the outlet or a used one.
