    thats a little disappointing as that means dell will hav a new model which probably means no gpu upgrade once the 8800 go comes out....darn, o well thats why I really only play Neverwinter Nights 2, WOW and Oblivion on pc, I have Oblivion for XBOX 360 also, but like mods (on both NWN2 and Oblivion), dang i kinda liked pc gaming, o well thats why I'm a console gamer. Already have a XBOX live account and thought about it interfacing with computers would be cool, aka Games for Windows LIVE. (P.S. Dont recommend a desktop, not my style.)
