    At first i was looking at other notebooks the HP nx9420 and Asus A7J. But my main need was a good Video Card and CPU. SO i went to Dell and i was very disapointed that the 256MB Nvidia GeForce Go 7800 was not included in the E1705. But thanks to this forum some one mentioned that you could go the Dell Outlet and get either refurbished or prebuilt systems that were cancelled and i got lucky that i got a cancelled. Here are my specs.

    E1705 Notebook: Intel Core Duo Processor T2500 (2GHz/667MHz FSB)
    17 inch UltraSharp Wide Screen UXGA Display with TrueLife
    1 GB DDR2 SDRAM 533MHz (2 DIMMs)
    60 GB EIDE Hard Drive (7200 RPM)
    8x DVD +/- RW w/dbl layer write capability
    256MB Nvidia GeForce Go 7800
    Total $1658.

    What do you think guys any input please. Tomorow i will get the Laptop cant wait. :D

    Good deal...a T2500 and the 7800 go, very nice.

    You will love the Truelife, trust me. Less lightleakage/sparkles then the XGA+ screen, and its glossy
