    Almost exactly what you ordered, but with 1333 RAM.

    I plan to put a 500gb Seagate 7200rpm drive and an additional 4gb of RAM in from Newegg. I wish I could have ordered them with the machine, but Dell wanted $370 just for the hard drive upgrade.

    Yea I know, I find it hard to believe they don't think people know what hard drives actually cost. I plan on sticking with 4 gigs for now, I can't imagine needing more based on the efficiency of windows 7.

    You'd be surprised how many people are even afraid of changing the RAM...

    I wouldn't waste my money on this, there is no difference much from this and the m6400 which i have, great machine! The 3800 fx looks to be a joke so far until they offer sli 1 gig each card then i will go for it, three ssd's whatever to much money.

    freedom16 the core i7 would wipe the floor with whatever cpu you have in your system and do so in a more efficent manner

    and as someone previously posted the 3800m appears to be the most powerfull single mobile card yet

    either way i would still want a stronger ati offering with dx11 but im glad my order got messed up a couple of months ago for a m6400 as now i wont be stuck with an older model i had just bought

    Core i7 wiping the floor is an exageration. Its better sure, but not by much AFAIK.

    Maybe a next generation Precision (xx70?) pre-release discussion thread?
