    Heard about this 17" Sli notebbok and thought it might be a little lighter ($,$$$) than all those 19" Sli notebooks. Will keep looking for more info.on this lightweight model.

    http://www.arima.com.tw/ look for the one : W830-DA

    Very nice find. I would actually consider buying this model - after seeing the Sager 5950 dwarf the 17" 5720, that pretty much turned me off - no way I can use a notebook that big. This one though, is managable. It also has dual SATA hard drive slots - the Sager 5950 only has one.

    We'll have to wait and see who picks this up.

    Thanks again,
    Chaz

    For how big the 5950 is it's kind of funny how little can be fit inside...

    I'm using FF, and it worked just fine, i'm also on a really old (about 4 years) Pentium 4 laptop (see sig) that barely even runs anymore... I have to hit it after I press the power button for it to get to the startup screen. And to top it all off, I'm on a Verizon connection, which is almost as bad as Dial-Up... And it still worked fine, dunno what wrong with you guys' computers =P
