    Does anyone know much about this model? I have seen it listed on Newegg.com, buy.com, amazon.com, etc as having a Radeon 9600 dedicated graphics chip on it... but the online manual says that it has integrated SiS graphics. It appears to be a US ONLY model, as several sites list it as shippable only to US. For retailing at $800 or so, I would definately get this. links:

    Bulletbait-

    I could only get the Newegg link to work, but reguardless, ALWAYS go with the manufactures manual statements over the reseller! If you truley want to know, call Averatec! Not trying to be rude, but their people are helpful and will likely gladly clear up any misunderstanding.

    Either way, as a new Averatec customer, its a great machine for the price!

    hope this helps.
