    Dear notebook gurus:

    I am new to the forum and the world of notebooks so please forgive me if I am asking trivial questions...

    I am looking for the fastest notebook (with a good GPU!) based on a new 64-bit processor and I think, please correct me in case I am wrong, Acer Ferrari 4000 fits the bill. Has anybody got any experience with this beauty yet?

    I live in Canada and would appreciate any suggestions as to where I can get it...

    Thank you very kindly! Cannot wait for your reply...

    What is the speed (rpm I mean) of the HDD installed? Is it 5400 rpm or less?

    I understand it comes with 1GB (512/512) DDR333 SDRAM installed. Is the RAM speed really 333 MHz or something closer to 133 MHz?

    Please forgive me my trivial questions, but I am quite new to the world of notebooks (this would my very first!)...
