    i'm currently in taiwan and the v2je has finally been released here (only in a few stores though). the build quality seems decent, but it seems to have some serious heating issues. i'll probably still wait at least a week before buying it, but after some hard bargaining... it's a little over $1500 USD.

    the OS is indeed windows vista business and not xp and there doesn't seem to be 2 versions here (one with 3.5G and one without)... but i guess it's still early.

    does anyone know how does the X1450 does on 3dmark scores?
    or better yet how does it compare to X1600 cards?
