    The asus g1s x3 is on sale at 1499 at best buy, but I have a question. Why on specs it says it have the core 2 duo T7500 but later on it says it only has 2mb L2 cache? Does anyone knows the reason behind this?
    thanks

    It's a misprint that BB never fixed. The processor is the T7500 with the full 4 MB L2.

    Another questuion on the same machine. Is the 2GB RAM it comes with (2 x 1GB) or is it 1 2GB. Also, can I add Kingston 2GB Single Module PC2-5300 667MHZ 200-Pin SODIMM DDR2 Laptop Memory - KVR667D2SO/2GR for the additional memory? Thanks.

    The A1 is the same price at Newegg, no tax for most. Double the warranty and accident protection for a year. Why bother with BB?

    ^ definitely - with newegg you'll also get the backpack and mouse - and, like greystone said, if youre in their "no tax" zone - you could save yourself a good chunk of change with that alone
