    Okay, my last question guys.

    I'm asking alot of questions because I'm planning on cancelling my overpriced Alienware this morning at 9am and grabbing something else and I'm sick and tired of looking.

    I've heard of people getting the ATI 5650 if they ask the sales rep over the phone but I'm not sure how true that is ...I don't want to get deceived and then have to deal with BS returns and more waiting.

    Since the UK has new video cards (ones that can handle any game), is there any way for a Canadian to get one? The thing is, I applied for Dell credit and want a Dell ...since I'm cancelling my 3000$ overpriced Alienware.

    My credit isn't that great from student loans so I don't think I'd be able to get anything else ><

    Thanks alot for your replies, means alot ! :)

    EDIT:
    Nvm ...apparently Dell Canada has them. What's stupid is they have 2 kinds of Studio 15 and 2 kinds of Studio 17 ...the ones with the better video card seem like they're hidden ...I had to google it. They should just delete the ones with the crappy cards b/c I had to do LOTS of research and navigation and would of ended up getting the crap one ...

    Hm...I checked the link but it says it's the ATI 5470. Not sure where you see the 5650.
