    Hi guys,

    I just bought this model (A6b00ne) in Montreal... I was wondering what the North American version is called... the only review I found of it was from the UK.

    Cheers,

    Right now Asus only wants to sell the A6 in Canada..... plus it's an 815 chipset, isn't it? That won't sell another older chipset model in the US. Asus has considered bringing it in as an ensemble like they did in Canada, but I think all of the dealers have agreed is cheapens the emsemble line. So, I don't know if it will come over as a barebone or what..... but As far as I know, the A6 is the model they are going to bring in as the first Turion notebook..... so I'm pretty sure that's their focus on that model in the US.

    Thanks,
    Justin

    thanks for the response. how can i check what chipset it is?

    i'm pretty sure it is an 855 chipset, but i don't even know what that means... i stopped researching hardware at the 440BX!

    cheers,
