    Intel wants the pricing to be the same, because they want to get these chips selling as quick as possible.

    Are you asking about where to find one specifically with a 512mb X1600, or a Z96 in general? The "512" mb consists of 256 dedicated and 256 hypermemory- that means it takes 256 mb of your system ram. In order for this to be enabled, you need 1gb or more of system ram. If you get a 256mb X1600 in any laptop with 1gb or more of system ram, you will have 512mb of graphics memory.

    If you are searching for a good reseller... I suggest Geared2play, www.geared2play.com. They are fast, friendly, and reliable. Prices aren't bad either, and their warranty policies are great.
