    the 4th Gen i7's are trickling out into the marketplace which means the 8x80w & 8x80p series machines should be showing up in the next two to three months.

    What are you looking for as far as improvements over the 8x60 & 8x70 series machines?

    Me? I'm hoping for more SATA3/6gb ports, preferably all of them. I don't think it's realistic to ask for increased RAM, but I wouldn't mind the ability to push a quad core 8x80w to 64GB.

    Improved Dream Color Display with some sort of calibration utility built in?

    So what would you list as a realistic want (e.g. switching graphics between Intel on the 8x80w's)

    A more user friendly website with user configable options minus absurd listing price so it become more realistic choice.

    A real firepro probably. Manual graphic switch.
