    3 years later, I am still gaming on my W3J, almost on all low settings. I play L4D at and COD4 at lowest setting to keep my fps up and I miss the days when I was able to hit at least medium with all of my games. I have been debating continuously whether to get the m1730 deal that is going on right now. Most of me know that I have no need for it because I am still playing with "decent" fps but a small part of me wants to experience the POWERRRR of 9800GT SLI. What should I do? ARGHH

    If you don't care about weight or battery life, it is the perfect storm of a deal.
