    Thats the...err...A8fm? Or A8...something else or another...

    It seems there are 4 A8's in the world right now, one with onboard graphics, one with 7300 Go, one with the x1600 and one with the 7600 Go.

    It looks like none of em, except for the ones with the 7300/Onboard, will come to the US. But I don't know where you're from. I would assume the x1600 A8 will be Asia only.

    A8jm in Canada is a 7600Go, it is not a ATI x1600 like W3j. I guess Asus can change the spec. for another location and area.

    I'm pretty sure this model is limited to either Europe or Asia, the north american model, (at least canada) will be A8Jm only so we won't be seeing any ATI cards in the A8J unless you order from out of the continent.

    Anyone know if the Go7300 a8jc is available anywhere in US/canada ? So far, I've only spotted the a8jm n7600 & integrated graphics model in US. I think the a8jc would fit my budget the closest.
