    How long will it take from completing the order at newegg to the arrival at your home?
    Since it can be equiped with two hard drives...is it available for RAID 0?
    Does anyone change the processor from T9600 to a core Quad processor(Q9100,QX9300,etc)? What's the difference of the performance between Duo and Quad you witness?
    Thx.

    If you are lucky enough to find it in stock at Newegg it won't take very long as they are rather prompt in filling orders (it is dependent upon the shipping option you choose).

    Reportedly the bios does support RAID.

    The W90Vp-A1 (q9000, q9100, and qx9300) is available through XOTICPC, but has not been released yet. The duos through Newegg bench around 15k in 3DMARK06 using built-in TurboGear clocks, while the unreleased q9000 version is already brushing up against 13k with TurboGear (both scores should improve with better drivers). On the extreme end of things, someone has managed a 20k score with an overclocked QX9300.

    Also reportedly the two hard drives are settled separately...Quite confusing.

    In fact, the score of 3DMARK06 is meaningless to some extent. How the performances of multitasks,games and video encoding/decoding of Quad differ from those of Duo is what really considerable.
