    Where did you buy this laptop? One of the very-very few non widescreens that have a decent graphics card and AMD 64 25W proc, just what I'm looking for.

    Yeah, the 6400 is an overclocked 6200, just like how the x600 is an overclocked version of the x300.

    Seems like the Arima W622 is sold as a VoodooPC laptop in the US, Envy:538 or something like that.
