    Well, the HP workstations are excellent gaming machines in their own right, especially with the powerful graphics card in the 8710w/8730w. Since your neighbour has EPP pricing, these will cost half of what they are on retail for, so about $1500 will get you a top configured 8710w/8730w.

    very true. The only reason they put the 9600m GT in the newer notebooks is solely due to the fact that Intel wanted better playback on HD content.

    No.

    The top of the line is the 9262, and nothing anyone can make will come close for at least another 8 months.
