    So the 7900 was made avaliable on the inspiron right after I ordered mine, but I'm gonna stick with the 7800 go. Why? There should be a better graphics card out in 2 years or so that would be worth spending the money on an upgrade for. I don't feel like going through the hassle of canceling my order and getting a new config, and doubling my wait time for the lappy. It should be able to run games like Oblivion pretty well anyways from what I've gathered, especially with the 2 gigs of ram and the 7200rpm hard drive. PC specific games should be even easier to run, even if theyre not released for another 6 months. All I gotta say is look at HL2. Does anyone know if it's possible to upgrade the CPU? I might wanna get a 3ghz duo whenever they end up making those. I dont know too much about hardware as of yet but the e1705 should come with a wealth of learning.
