    Greetings all,

    I have been lurking here for awhile, gearing up for this purchase.

    I have been gaming on Dell / AW laptops since my Inspiron 8500, and this is my first whitebook type notebook.

    The information and discussion has been extremely helpful in my decision making.

    As you can see in my sig, I am upgrading from an AW m9700 which looks to be the Arima case design predecessor to the new OCZ.

    New system specs:

    WUXGA 1920 x 1200 Widescreen Super Glare TFT Display
    Dual ATI Radeon HD 3870 (M88XT) 512MB DDR3-Crossfire Mode
    Integrated Super-Multi DVD/RW Dual-Layer Module
    Intel CoreĀ™2 45nm P9500 2.53Ghz 6MB 25W 1066MHz
    Compound-Heat Sink: Mirror Polished CPU/GPU Heatsink With Arctic Silver 5
    320GB WD Black SATA II 7200 RPM 3Gbs 16MB Cache-Free Fall Sensor
    4GB OCZ DDR3 1066MHz PC3-8500 CL7 Dual Channel Kit
    Intel WiFi Link 5300 802.11 a/g/n 3x3 MIMO Mini-PCIe
    Integrated Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR
    Windows Vista Home Premium With SP1 64-bit DVD
    RKC Customized Driver And Utility DVD (XP Pro-Vista 32 And 64-bit) V3-Included
    Warranty Options: 1 Year Parts/Lifetime Labor

    Anyway, very excited and appreciate all those who posted on this system before I took the plunge!

    Sadly I am out of town on business, but I asked Rob at the time I ordered if it would be there by the time I got home on Friday, and he got it to my door Wednesday! :eek:

    Thanks to Rob for the great service, and I can't wait to get home and fire up my new toy!

    This sure beats playing the Alienware waiting game! :)
