    Very nice system, I hope you have deep pockets :p

    One thing to note, you do realize that your sig is in fact illegal right?

    No I am not aware of my sig being illegal. Which part? The Mac OS X or the Rights to life, liberty, freedom, and self defense?

    A forum admin reviewed my sig before because it was not in compliance with the TOS and contained a political agenda, but that was corrected and he approved it. Outside the minor TOS violation, stating this sig to be illegal would be against freedom of speech.

    If its the Mac OS X part, I do realize its technically illegal to run it on non mac hardware, but there is a single loophole in the OSX 10.5 TOS that allows one to slip on through depending on how the OS is used. And its has to be purchased, which my copy is...

    We can’t wait either!

    It will be interesting to see what the GPU can do in the 5796; I would hope I’ll have a chance to get one for the 5793. Please post an in-depth review? :D

    I plan a full review. I have 3DMark, PCMark, and other benching stats saved from when I had the 5793, so I'll be using those in my review.

    NICE SPEC!! :D about the same as mine!! I'm also getting the 9800m GTX and cant wait to compare it with my 8800m GTX (M15x) hope it doesnt pose any heat problem. Is it worth it getting the Intel Turbo Memory?? i heard it doesnt do any much differences in performance...

    System is now shipping and will be here tomorrow! :)

    Intel upgraded its Robson Turbo Memory with the Montevina platform. The original 1GB version for the Santa Rosa platform offered very littler performance increase, but Intel claims the new 2GB and 4GB models truly do offer an increased amount of performance. The modules are supposed to be much faster, comparative to older RAM. The latencies have also been brought down, and its power usage has been minimalism. We'll see how it works after some testing.

    Actually, there was a user with a 9800M GTX and the results were not much better than the GT.

    Where is it posted eleron? I would like to see those results. I do mean the results on the 5796, not the big brother.
