    What's more noteworthy is that it allows you to order it with Montevina processors and DDR3 memory. Also that the 15-inch model also sports the 8800M GTX - as far as I know that was still limited to Alienware before.

    The Gateway PX6800 is probably the most mainstream 8800M GTX offering - though I'm not sure it ships worldwide.
