    I am currently looking at purchasing an m6500 and have narrowed it down to two choices - one with an i7-920 and one with an i7-620. Both have RGB LED screens and nvidia 3800m graphics. The price difference is about $160 more for the 920 (871.00 outlet) it also has 8 megs of ram vs 4 for the 620 ($719.00 outlet). everything else is the same. Is the 920 worth the extra cash?

    Thanks for the reply. After doing some further research I decided the 920 was worth the extra cost and pulled the trigger. Use will be mostly for programming and some gaming. Since I am starting grad school, the next business day onsite support was a huge bonus - adding this service on to other systems increased the cost by quite a bit.
