VR-Zone learned that there will be 3 SKUs; US11L supporting 400FSB Silverthorne, 512MB DDR2, 100MHz graphics core clock, SD Video only and up to 800x480 resolution,US15L supporting 400FSB Silverthorne, 1GB DDR2, 200MHz graphics core clock HD Video Decode and up to 1366x768 resolution and US15W that has similar features set as US15L but supporting 533FSB Silverthorne.
