    Wow that starting price is steep.

    Is the XFR treatment that good?

    as far as I know, N-trig doesn't release a driver for Win 7 so far. Only for Win 7 RC. I don't think it's worth having trouble with this.

    yeah. I have Dell XT. I like it, but heck, I would love to have multitouch sensor from another company.

    5GB ram seems like an odd number (pun intended)
