    I would wait for the np8660 to start shipping and be reviewed before you submit your order. You never know what problems could come up. *points at the m15x*

    nice config bro - but maybe you want to save 130 now and upgrade to another 2gb stick later when prices drop like crazy?

    Up to you -

    Or you can be one of the first reviewers and utilize the 30 Day No Questions Asked Return Policy if it is not a good fit for you. ;)

    Good configuration BTW. :)
