Penryn availability in Canada?

[icantux]

Anyone know when Penryn CPUs will be an available option from Lenovo Canada? I've been trying to find out by calling Lenovo Canada sales for a few days now but can never get through (the system hangs up saying: "we cannot take your call at the present time").

Just an update of sorts.

I finally managed to get to speak with someone at Lenovo Canada sales and after a very nice, courteous and frank discussion, the lady informed me that Penryn CPU's will not be available for configuration on any of the systems (T-series) through their site for at least another three weeks or perhaps longer (she mentioned mid March or end of March as a time frame of availability). She noted it has nothing to do with CPU shortage but has to do with integrating the required information into their new ordering system.

So there we have it.

An unfortunate update.

I'll call Lenovo sometime soon about this too, because 3 weeks just doesn't sound right.

Da**ed Lenovo Canada. I Loathe them.
