    On HypersonicPC they're offering the Aviator SR5 with comparable specs and price to the NP2090 at other Sager resellers. Is this their version of the same laptop?

    What caught my eye about it was that they list the 8600 GT in the system as being GDDR3. Is this true?

    Yes, it's the same laptop, but a lot of us in the Compal forums think HypersonicPC's got their facts wrong or are plain out lying. I don't see how HypersonicPC can possibly get GDDR3 in their laptops (as well as having DVI and HDMI in their IFL-90 iteration :rolleyes:) when they're just a reseller, they had nothing to do with the design of the laptop. I'd take their grains with a huge boulder of salt, a lot of the specs they just spew seems to be downright inaccurate when regarding the IFL-90.
