    I recently purchased a Hp pavilion DV6t Quad Edition Customizable Notebook PC today on June 13, 2011.

    HP Total Price: $1794.99 -(33% Coupon Applied: $592) = $1202.64 + Tax = $1309.37 Total Price.


    I bolded my upgrades, during customization. My question to you is is there a difference between, the 1GB Graphics card and 2GB Graphics card. I know the upgrade to 6770M is essential but should i have upgraded to 2GB? Was not upgrading to 2GB a mistake for the Price i paid?

    Lastly Did i get a Bang for my buck?

    ney the 2gb was not necessary.

    it wasnt bang for ur buck because all notebook vendor over charge for upgrades. i cant justify the 2720 upgrade or the hd
