    Here it is. I do not know about you guys but I think hp is behind. I am a HP fan and these days I am disappointed. The DV 6500T can only be ordered with a 8400GS as its maximum graphics card, the Dell M1520 can be ordered with a 8600Gt. The Dv9500T does not even have the 8600GT. To get good graphics cards you have to buy the HDX which is too big and too expensive. They do not have a separate gaming division except for Voodoo and they are Ridiculously overpriced. I hate Dell but I might have no choice. HP needs a XPS competitor. If HP gets a XPS M1730 competitor it would look better, and it will bring them closer to overcome DELL.

    HP=DEll
    ---=XPS
    Voodoo=Alienware

    I would suggest that if you're really serious about gaming, a desktop is the way forward.

    Beem me up Scotty :) :). You could nearly get the same performance from a notebook then a desktop. My problem is that the 8600GS is the best graphics card HP has and DELL is putting a 8800 card, as there best card.
