    Youre looking at the newest member of the M860TU family.

    I got mine for a bargain at $1450CDN. I have a T5800 instead though :( But i did get a 320GB 7200HD with it :D

    Aside from an eventual processor upgrade and sticking in another 2G of ram, what drivers and other programs should I look to install in this beast?

    It came with no OS so im looking to install XP (program conflicts and Eax sound) unless someone can point me in the direction where I can pick up an decently priced XFI card in Canada. That way I can put in vista.

    So any recommendations would help and thanks ;)

    May I ask what the specs are and from whom you purchased?

    Eurocom

    T5800
    9800GTS
    2G RAM
    320GB 7200HD
    Intel 5300
    Webcam
    Dvd

    I have my own bluetooth card so it wasnt necessary.

    you wont be able to get it at that price though. they made an error on their website when i quoted them so i got a higher spec'd system for a day that i saved a lot of money on by downgrading the Ram option.

    luck of the draw
