    HP tends not to do the higher end graphics cards.

    Maybe now that they have VooDoo that might change. I've always felt HP has thermal issues with higher end graphics cards...that's why they stopped using them. But that's only what I thought.

    Thats a possibility.

    May be they just don't want to compete the in "Gamer" Market yet?

    I'm guessing adding a high end option won't justify enough sales to make it viable.
