    This might be nice to know, some are released already and others are being released shortly.

    Yeah. Nice and convenient, but were the pictures necessary? Haha... they all have the same chassis/pic.

    So the GT628 will support DDR3 RAM but the barebones is still limited to DDR2?

    Re: the GX623

    I got an email back from Tom Ho at MSI after I emailed him to ask about the GT628 and GX623 and he said both would "probably" be out in mid-August

    Its doesnt suck, its just there low end gaming laptop. Its still very good for playing games. Its also AMD which does not fair well against intel. You should upgrade the cpu to a AMD Turion™ X2 Ultra. There the fastest you could use in the GX630. Hope this helps.

    I dont believe this is the case here, and AMD are notorious for better undervolting because of different components, i bet we could have his AMD proc running cooler then anything we pop in our machines.

    AMD is better for OCing it gives you lower oc delta temps than intel in most cases.
