    Ok, so its come down to 2 Notebooks! The Sager NP5792 with 2.5 GHZ 45nm Intel Core 2 duo, 8800 Nvidia GeForce GTX, and 2GB ram with XP Pro or the Asus G2S B2. Any thoughts? Hows the reliabilty on the Sager NP5792? Anyone know if it has heat problems? I dont care about noise or weight just proformence and reliability. Can i add another 1gb of ram to the Sager NP5792 later? Thanks in advance!

    I think the 5792 would be the better option since you can put an x7900 in there with the 8800 card. The Asus is limited in the graphics card and hurts gaming performance.

    And yea, the 5792 is easy to upgrade the ram (And everything else for that matter, gotta love the clevo designs).

    The Asus is not even in the same class, if you're going to use this for gaming. The 5792 will crush it in games. No heat problems on the 5792.

    The 5792 has two slots for RAM.

    One other nice feature (if you use it) is the Sager has a numeric keypad. Unfortunately the G2 does not. The Sager is also using the new Penryn processors :) The Sager will provide much better performance.
