    320 dollar difference for the 9800GTX (as compared to the 8800GTX)?
    I thought they were supposed to be the "budget" video cards.

    I thought the M570TU was the 17" model. Maybe I was wrong. But if so, shouldn't you have the option for more than just a single hard drive?

    The M57 line has always only had 1 hard drive.

    it is for the 17" and no this does not have dual or triple hard drives. you might be thinking of the 9262.

    geez, I did the same config for xotic and there was a 500 bucks difference. scary. And the fact they say turbo mem is "necessary" for vista kinda shows me they have some tech issues along with the ddr3 frequency.

    Oh. I misunderstood another thread, then. I thought the M570TU was a replacement for the 9262. My bad.

    The 2.5 GHz Core 2 Extreme QX9300 doesn't come out until Sep. of this year, and the non-extreme versions only have a Q4 2008 release date. Likely will push back to Q1 2009. You will have to have the Montiva platform to run these, since the CPU's are set to a 1066FSB. So 5796 or better.

    I don't think M-Tech has the system yet either. Probably a pre-order like system.
