    I've been trying to order a VAIO FW292 since last night, and when I go to customize it, it takes me back to like...an index page or something. Same with the FW290. But the FW190 takes you to the configuration page. It's weird cuz I was able to customize the FW292 2 days ago, now it won't work. Anyone have any ideas of what's going on with the site? I could probably order over the phone but I really like being able to see all the options at once and how it affects the cost.

    Its happening to me as well, I try to customize the new FW series but it sends me back to the homepage. I guess they are still putting on some finishing touches.

    I have the same problem.
    I tried to customize it a few days ago and it allowed me to do it.
    I guess the FW-292 is the next upcoming model and they want the 190's stock to run out before they start with the new line.

    The new ones have a 8GB maximum capacity which makes me want to take it for future upgrades.
    Im hoping it will extend the lifetime of the laptop an extra year before it turns obsolete.

    Im planning on ordering it with a 2GB RAM and up it with my own memory of 4GB chips bought elsewhere.
    Im guessing it might work out cheaper.... any comments?

    I also read the official specifications that these new FWs can take up to 8gb of ram vs 4gb in the previous ones. But they should also be able to take 8gb of ram, the chipset is still the same between the old and new models, I don't see why the 100 models can't take 8gb of ram? :confused:

    I wonder if a refreshed Z could also boost the ram limit? :)
