Dell France has the 9600XT on their 8600 series of notebooks. You can only purchase it with the Recommended Systems, so you can't get the exact configuration that you want.

We have confirmed with ATI, there is no such thing as Mobility Radeon 9600 XT, and it is NOT an upcoming product.

Maybe you can tell them to take it off the French site. I just put one in my cart.

Processeurs: Processeur Intel® Pentium® M à 1.5Ghz

Ecran: Ecran Ultrasharp WSXGA 15.4''Format large à matrice active TFT, résolution 1680 x 1050, 16 millions couleurs

Mémoire (DDR SDRAM 333 MHz): Offre spéciale - 512 Mo DDR SDRAM (2x256)

Vidéo: Controleur ATI Radeon 9600 XT 128MO DDR

Delltalk thread - This guy tried to actually order one:

Went ahead with the Radeon 9600 thinking at last I would get some satisfaction from this company. When the revised order came through, guess what? No Radeon available anymore. Not until mid Dec. No mention of it of course, just picked up the substitution in the specs.

Pretty disappointed to say the least...

would "XT" in french be equivalent to the english world "Pro"?

Andrew could you please find out what the story is from Dell Europe, was this a marketing ploy to offset their competitions advantages i.e. is it just a damn sneaky lie. Any effort on your part would be greatly appreciated!

If there is no such thing as the Mobility Radeon 9600 XT, then Dell should stop advertizing it in their French website and French magazine. I thought that they did have it available since they have been advertizing it for several weeks, already.

They should also stop advertizing it in their Spanish site.
