    15.4" I'm assuming that would still be the same resolution then. Do you have anything confirming that it will be an ATI card in it or is that still at rumor status?

    edit: nvm, I read those links you've posted and it confirmed what I was asking.

    .... :confused:

    They changed the article after I read it:
    The Best Buy aisles also host the 17-inch P-6860FX, a Vista 64-Bit- and Core 2 Duo T5500-based notebook with 4GB of memory, 512MB Nvidia GeForce 8800M GTS graphics, and a 320GB hard disk for $1,350

    That used to say T7150, 3GB RAM and 250GB HDD... oh well... at least it's right now. :)

    I just got my 6860 yesterday so if anyone has any questions about it, let me know.

    But everything is as expected.

    Is the 320Gb HDD a single drive or 2 160Gb?
