    Just put my order in for a DV6000T from Costco with all options maxed out including the Invidia Go7400 card. Then I noticed in summary that I do not have the 5 in 1 card reader or the extra USB port (only 2 USB avaliable) or perhaps even no Firewire port. Do these items only come with the Intel 950 option? Am I screwing myself out of these goodies in search of a slightly better graphics card?? This does not seem fair!! Is this true?

    HP's site says that it only comes with 2 USB ports standard, and the 5-in-1 media card reader is optional, but it seems there's no option to select for it.

    That's just weird.

    I thought 3 USB ports and the media card reader was standard on all HP models (and the dv9000 has 4 USB ports)...

    Yea, that stuff is all standard. Their site is notoriously bad at system and technical specs, take a look at the FSB speeds they quote for different models.

    The third USB, the card reader and the firewire a part of the so called "productivity ports". Hp used to include them as additional option for 25 bucks. I think I saw it recenty on the models with GeForce 6150.
