    Hey guys, I'm torn between waiting for Gateway's new FX 7915u, getting a current 7809u or buying this version of the G51 from newegg.com for 1265 shipped...I have a few questions about it though, and if any owners here could help me I'd appreciate it.....Does it run overly hot??? and also, would there be a huge discrepancy between the DDR3 of the gateways and the DDR2 of this model?? Also, any general observations about gaming (ie, Crysis, Wow, any others) attributing to performance would be helpful..Also, is it bluetooth compatible?? I can't seem to find confirmation on this..I'm leaning towards this because of the lovely sounding (and hopefully looking) 1080 screen...btw I would be buying the duo p8700 2.53 ghz version, not the newer quad version...Thanks!!
