    Im ordering the Envy 15 and will be using it for gaming. I was wondering which upgrade will benefit me the greatest, the Core i7 820 or Dual SSD
    (160+160gb) for gaming? Thanks

    Neither... most games won't tax the CPU and you wouldn't notice a difference from a C2D and if you already have one SSD, then it will be faster than 2 in RAID0 for loading times since access times go up slightly in RAID0
