    just got released. it says "support for new intel cpu". i really hope this is for the 45nm penryns. a t9500 would be a very nice upgrade when the price comes down a little bit.

    btw, it turns out someone has already upgraded their vostro 1500 to t9500 with a new bios and it works. reported on the dell support site. i think this is great news.
