    Nice laptop you got there, I hope you enjoy it. :)

    Off-Topic: Hehe, I know what it feels like to go from an old machine to a new one, went from a Gateway MX3631m (Pentium M 1.6 GHz, 512 MB of RAM @ 400 MHz, Intel GMA 900, 80 GB Toshiba Hard Drive @ 4,200 RPM) to a Sager NP9262 (specs in sig link.). :)

    (LOL) I went from not having any laptop at all and primary using an old athlalon desktop, to having a Sager NP5791. That was quite an improvement. :D

    @ the OP, looks like a pretty sweet system you're getting there. Take good care of her. ;)

    Can the M570RU support the T9400?
    Anyone have the owners and/or service manual to this notebook?

    Ye its a nice feeling i went from an IBM t23 (1ghz proc, 256mb ram, dunno about the gfx card apart from it was rubish and struggled with wc3, and a 30gb hdd :O) i used for work and dvd's away from home to the m860tu in my sig, quite a change its nice :). Albiet i did have a desktop that was ok for running things like cod4 on minimum settings :p

    @ Zenica,

    No the M570RU doesn't support the T9400, the closest equivilants that it supports are the T9300 and the T9500 (not to be confused with the P9500).

    You need the M570TU to support the new montevina processors

    @ De@thknight, hello from the rock forum :) Did your 620 ever arrive or did you go for an alternative M860TU?

    Nice config you got there mate, hope it will serve you well :) And yeah, you should see quite a bit of an improvement over your current one :p I went from a 2 ghz centrino and a ati mobility x1800 to the one in my sig and that was a huge jump IMO... Get ready for tons of power to throw any game you want to after :)

    I'm gonna be getting quite a jump in performance myself - I'm going from my parent's Dell Dimension 4550 w/2.46ghz, 1GB of Ram, a 60gb HDD, and a GeForce4 Mx420 to a loaded 5793

    Indeed the 9800m gts is a great card, and for that price you got, it's really not worth going for the 9800m gt/gtx in the M570tu taking the price diffrence in account :)

    @SplinteredVision - Yeah, thats a nice boost in computing power :p :)

    ^^^ i really did consider getting that other sager 15 incher with a 9800mgt...but with similar specs, it came out to over 2200 bucks......so i thought to myself, that a 10~15% increase in GPU performance/ monteniva platform were not worth the extra 600 bucks

    3-7 days building time

    Shipping varies...I got 2 day air because it was the only option for where I live (Alaska), and it would have indeed arrived in two days if not for this meddling weekend.
