Hasn't anybody here ever purchased Dells before? This sort of thing happens all the time - Intel tweaks a recipe or finds some cheaper Malaysian 12 year olds to work in the fabs and gets a yield boost (or whatever) - so Dell adds another radio button to choose from come purchase time. This kind of progress is normal in x86-land. Only in Apple-land can this be spun as "free upgrade". Could it also be Apple's having trouble selling enough MBP's with demand not as robust as they expected? I'm on the clock with a 900k-ish quarter for cpus, so yeah, I think that's a very real possibility. Since so many are expecting it, its also a very real real possibility the market won't care.
