    or wait for anything new to come?? i mean how long does everyone think it will be for the 1730 to get updated? poss to 9800gtx's or montevina? is it really worth it to buy something like this now or has any info been put out there that something new from dell will be on its way to replace it?? i actually reall REALLY would like a 9262 from sager but i just cant swing that with my budget right now..

    thanks in advance..

    no one is going to have an answer for you. The m1730 is very powerful and will recieve minimal performance boost from 9800/montevina compared to its current performance.

    If you have a good deal and you need it, go for it now. Its a very capable pc, i wouldnt be surprised if the 8800's would even be upgradeable in the future.

    Everything anyone will tell you is speculation. I got mine 2 weeks ago and I love it...

    You missed the best deals for the M1730 this past weekend. I too am waiting to see what the next offering for the M1730 will be.
