A friend of mine just bought a 172x fx .But, didn't know there are extra discount codes that Gateway uses so you can use to lower the cost even more. So, I thought i'd post the one site I mostly use. It has always list the newest codes.

Now, I know alot of people know about these. But, this is for the ones who don't. Remember, DON'T kill the messenger.![]()

best way to get discounts is to haggle with the sales rep

damn, gateway was almost up for sale, but that dell had a 8700m gt card...
      - 
 
 
say what? you lost me
 - 
 
 i was looking at the dell on sale and thought it had the 8800m gtx card for hat price. if so...gateway would have made it's way to the selling block...lol
 - 
 
 
what dell on sale?
 - 
 
 
i take it you didn't click on the coupon link and then look at the computers on sale at best buy?

nice find.
so the 15.4 and 9600 gs card interest you huh... - 
 
9600 gs is a watered down version like the 8600 gs was
 - 
 
 yep. what you said.
lol - 
 
 
nah not really...i already ordered a gateway m-152xl to fit my needs, its only two days away(#$%^$%^$%^ 3-5 day ground always turns into a week...). i just thought the asus was an interesting find.
 - 
 
 
wooooo, what a relief
lol - 
 
 
=) is that asus i linked supposed to be bad? i never looked into any of the 9500 cards...just decided to stick with the 8600 or a ati equal.
 - 
 
 
it has 32 SP's while the 8800m gts has 64 sp's the 8600m gs only had 16 sp's
sp=stream processors
and it only has a 128 bit bus while the 8800m gts have a 256 bit bus
rule of thumb seems to be...256gddr3 per 128 bit bus or 512gddr3 per 256 bit bus. so im told. seems fair to me so i go with it.
