    Well,

    My decision between a the XPS 1530 and the T61p just got that much more difficult...it seems Dell Canada has FINALLY allowed the XPS 1530 to be customized with the new 45 chips.

    Does anyone want to sway my purchase towards either of these fine computers?

    Thanks for the heads up. ;)
    Already got mine, and it's a awesome machine. Recommend you get it over the T61.

    Just don't get the WSXGA+ (1680x1050) screen. Those are the ONLY ones that are grainy.
