    I have an XPS m1330 (T7500, 3 GB RAM, 8400M GS GPU) and had a bad 6-cell battery that wasn't holding charge.

    Dell sent me a replacement, but they've sent me a 9-cell which I don't want b/c it's heavy, adds bulk and most importantly, the angle on the laptop REALLY hurts my wrists... but apparently they won't send out 6-cells as replacements anymore, just 9-cells.

    I'm wondering if there's anything I can tell them to get them to send me a 6-cell without having to put my 9-cell on ebay or something?

    Secondly and completely OT - I can't find any concrete info on whether my system would be able to run Assassin's Creed and/or the new Prince of Persia game (same engine)... any info would be most appreciated, on both counts.

    Thanks :)

    Resell the 9 cell and buy a 6 on ebay.

    That would throw a wrench into warranty replacements should I ever need another one though, no?
