Finally Received my refund from AW and placed an order for an NP9262 MONSTER

Late September, early October (you say pessimist, I say realist ).

 

Actually, the single 9800M GTX has an ETA of mid to late August, not early August, and it is of course still subject to change.

 

wow that is an absolute monster, congrats

 

If you don't mind me asking.. what kind of job do you have? xD

 

Ah, when i called up Sager they said by the first week of August it should be in, as do the websites.

 

"... should..." as in, 50.0000000000000000000000000000001%, and maybe better.

 

Sales & Marketing.


BTW...I wired the money in this morning.
I also upgraded the CPU from a Q9450 to a Q9550.
I figured if I was going to spend this much I might as well go all the way with it.
SO, once it's in we should have fun bench testing!

 

Curious Crow, will it be getting to you Tues or Weds?

 

Don't have a ship date as of yet.
They say they can ship in 3-7 business days.

 

And they keep saying Economy is bad!:laugh:

Was Great before ... now is even Better!

I want one ... anyone feeling playing Santa ... PM me and I'll e-mail U my address.

G!

 

I got the same answer today when I called, Cant wait I have a pre-order NP5796 with the 9800m GTX from Xotic....

 

holy ****....... i don't know what to say........ but......... i'm SURE you'll have fun with that.. and SURELY BRAGGING RIGHTS.. haha..

 

ZOMG its MAXED!!! You did what i could not!!! but youll LOVE IT!!!

 

Lol i think you should take those smileys off your sig!

 

oh damn.. his setup made me look small ): i thought i had something so powerful already.. .. =/ oh well, should still be the best in my country.. so.. smileys stay!!

 

Going to pick up a camcorder today so that I can do a legitimate unboxing.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!

 

lol nice! personally I dont understand why your getting 8GB of ram though, sincethe chipste is limited to 6.8GB and the OS to 4GB. IMO i would stick with 4 and then upgrade IF you had to...just my 2cents..

 

The OS is not limited to 4GB, but you are correct that due to the other hardware overhead only about 6.8GB of the memory will be addressable, which is quite a bit more than 4GB and therefore for the power user would be very worth it.

 

This is particularly true in the case that you happen to use _Vista (32-bit or 64-bit) because of the enhanced prefetching functionality of _Vista as compared to XP (what MS now calls "superfetch"). Basically, _Vista will prefetch from the hard drive (or other storage) what its algorithms say the user is most likely to need or to use on a regular basis and store that material in RAM, and will generally use as much of the available RAM as is possible without being too detrimental to the performance of the system. Thus, even if you, as a user, don't need that much RAM for any one program you run, you will still get some benefit out of having the additional RAM because it will enhance _Vista's ability to keep as much as possible ready to hand in RAM and result in less of a need to go to the hard drive or other storage media to get necessary data or code.

rep rep rep

 

my bad! didnt see it was 64bit. even if, a 32bit is limited between 3 and 4gb.

thanks shyster, did not know that. makes perfect sense though, kinda obviosu actually.

wow this is getting me excited, can't wait for a good review. I am waiting on the silver tip model of np5796. Anyone have clear eta on it? Only thing i know is, its going to be released sometime in august.

 

we do have some great 9262 reviews on the forum, you just need to browse around. and I think orange trim looks better on 5796.

 

yes but this is of the highest calibre of laptops i have ever seen, performance will be nuts. I am particularly interested in the 3 SSD's.
