    If I choose a T7300 or higher I get "Compatibility Instructions There is a compatibility issue with the Wireless Connectivity you chose.
    Not compatible with your current Base selection" pop-up.

    If I change the wireless to Intel® Next-Gen Wireless-N then the issue goes away. I ordered a T7300 cpu and IntelJ3945 802.11a/g Mini-card from dell Canada, I wonder if this part of the resone I'm still waiting for my laptop.

    I hope I get a wireless N card...... :)


    Dell™ Wireless 1390 802.11b/g Mini-Card - Europe - Pentium Dual Core Only [subtract £23.50]

    There is something wrong with that site. The "compatibility" warning seems to come up for all processors other than the T2310.
