    these are the specs that im aiming for... its about $2000 canadian with a 15% coupon to make it about $1700... to use the coupon (online anyways) the processor has to be T7100...

    i'm to order via phone in hopes of getting further discounts and to see whether i can upgrade the processor to T7300 or T7500... does anyone have experience with the phone service in canada (or even the US), how much do you usually get discounted or what do they usually let you upgrade? any tips on getting discounts via phone (how should i act? what should i ask? lol)...

    are there any other "problems" or issues i should fix before i call? Thanks =)
