    1st, why doesn't alienware use the "P" series processor? Less heat and same speed..?

    2nd, does AW use the new version of tubo memory? The one with the dashboard that allows you to pick and choose what program you want to load from the cache. I heard you could even get faster bootup times too, which would be great for a notebook.

    the m15x came out before the p series, and that would require them a whole new mobo, therefor it will probably be an option on their next 15in laptop.

    the m15x only supports the 1gig turbo mem. 1.0.

    i've heard that the larger series of turbo memory will work with the older chipsets... not sure how well, or if you'll get whatever dashboard you're talking about... I'm not a TurboMemory user. :p
