    wow i got my laptop in 4 days, got a perfect laptop with a perfect screen. i must say i love dell atm. i normally build my own computers so never bought a dell before..i was kind of worried when ordering this laptop because of all the bad things i read here. but i have to say i'm very very very happy with this laptop. one of the best screens i have seen on anything and the gaming this laptop is unreal. cs:s and hardcore endgame warcraft was a joke for this thing. never went under 70 fps.

    i took it out of the box and without doing anthing as far as tweeking goes i ran a 3dmark06 and it got a 3292 out the box...unreal

    and this was only with 1 gig of ram!!!!!
    i have 4 gigs on its way from newegg


    on a side note......WTF min req for wow is like a P2 400mhz

    I got that too, it's because the CPU clocks down to save power.
    WoW works fine.

    IIRC, only Vista 64bit recognizes total 4GB of ram. It would be a waste if you run 32 bit Vista.

    It's not entirely a waste as you still get to use 3 GB of it and you get to keep your dual channel (1GB + 2GB stick still gets you 3GB but it's not much cheaper and you loose dual channel).
