    1... you MIGHT have wanted to wait for the 9800s and the q9550... :/
    2... WHY did you order THREE?!
    3... if you ordered three cuz someone is paying for them or sumthing (i.e. business/military) why didnt you get the 8 gigs of ram?

    Hi
    How much did you pay for 3 of them?
    I think q9450 is good.

    Ahh Doodles. I think I saw this place before. Then I saw that Justin said that Sager has said that the higher processors than 9450 were unstable and would not be covered by the warranty. I figured if they are putting unstable parts in the notebook then other things might also be unstable. Plus I like Justin better. :)

    lol 8 gigs of RAM.

    Congrats man. It's completely impractical for me but if I had the money I'd love to have a notebook like that. I'll stick to being happy with my Vostro 1400 though.

    It supports the 45nm Quads (Q9450 is offered) but there limitations with 8GB. Here is a previous post I made:



    Thanks for your kind words Relowe :) Your business is greatly appreciated. As Rambo said, you will have to give us all a review. :D

    Yea, I won't be picky. What I said about 8gb before was just me joking. :)

    Justin, you do not need to thank me. You are the one that runs a phenomenal business. I have heard nothing but the best comments about you. Plus, I can clearly tell that you try very hard and enjoy your work. Why would I take my business elsewhere? I am definitely going to recommend everyone to XoticPC. :)

    The review will come, but it might take some time as I will be busy till the end of the month :(. I will try to fit it in before then though depending on how things look.

    EDIT: Oh yea, and I will also be sending the notebook with the SLI cards back in the future to try out your custom painting service! I just wanted this before the 16th so I got a little impatient and skipped it for the time being.

    Hey, if you're kitting out staff too, any room for a good suck-up, toady, yes-man, or whatever else? :D :D

    Sorry, just can't resist the cheap shot or the low-fruit. :D Congrats on the systems, I don't think you'll feel ill-used by them.
