    Yes, there are a lot of people complaining.

    It'll probably stop when Nvidia finally irons out the kinks in their Vista SLi implementation, which is pretty shoddy right now. If you're really interested in what the issues are, I'd go and post in one of those threads.

    I'm not complaining. So far my system has run perfectly. I think it comes down to peoples expectations. Some hope to see a system that runs as well as a high end desktop system, which is just not gonna happen yet.

    1. No I got the Samsung, and I'm not complaining. A little light leakage but I hardly notice.
    2. I wouldn't get my hopes too far up about the 8800m rumor (19th nov), since a couple ppl who actually are in contact with Dell say that they've (dell) been having trouble with 8800m tests and therefore might not utilize them in their upgrade line before another 6 months.
    My estimate is that it won't come out on the 19th at Dell, but that it won't take 6 months either. Have patience :)
