    With all the hype of the 8800GTX card, does anyone know or think the dragon will be getting one? I think that would make this lappy even more impressive. :D Or, is it more likely, hp will half ass it with a 8600, or 8700? If hp is not going to use the best video cards, what was the point of buying voodoo pc, if your not going to be cutting edge.

    Voodoo pc is totally useless IMO, same goes to Dell for buying Alienware they did not acquire tech that XPS did not have.

    Well, they haven't used an Nvidia based graphics card for it yet sooooooo...
    We'll see when the grapevine starts talking about the next version. As for the Voodoo 20" laptop, I was not impressed with the specs for the huge money they demand for it.

    I actually thought about the possibility but felt I couldn't wait anymore, even if my favorite plane is the blackbird so having a laptop with that name would be awsome. I needed the monster now so Dragon will have to sufice. :D
