Quote: wow, if only the 400Mhz DDR wasn't so expensive, but wow, what a difference true that. the dual channel probably makes the biggest difference.
what about the 5680? does this mean it's getting released later?
slacker, I wasn't trying to get anyone to buy an 8890. I was just trying to keep people from getting the 5680. That's because they should all wait for the 800fsb and m10p on a 17" widescreen. rumors are that the upgrade will have a wuxga option.
Quote: THE 8890 is a fat slob! I agree, but let's just keep that between us. (I need to make sure everyone else doesn't buy the first shipment before I get one)
you aren't leaving until the 29th and start orientation? That's pretty late. I'm leaving on the 22nd to go to college and our classes start the 27th.
with the new models so close, i was curious as to what everyone will be spending their hard earned cash on.
i think the fastest is each stick runs at 400mhz. if you look at the specs, one of the options is 333. I doubt in that instance each stick runs at 166.5mhz. if my memory serves me correctly (pun not intended), dual channel is a property of the motherboard not the ram.
only a couple of things to add to ryanniedz 2. the first set of laptops to ship will be approximately one week after they are available for pre-order. After they start shipping, it should be as ryanniedz says. 8. if you're worried about weight, look at the 5680. It's significantly lighter in weight. It's cheaper too and has longer battery life. It won't have a tv tuner, but with the money you save, you can probably get a better one for the pcmcia card slot. I don't...
i believe that it will use 200 pin sodimm. that's what the 5660 used according to the tear down review adam did.
i differ from bratag only slightly. I would suggest getting 512mb now and upgrading in a year or so when prices come down. No game will actaully require that much system ram. I would get 1gb only if you were doing graphics rendering or video editing. I do recommend the extra battery. It just depends on whether or not you think you will need the extra battery time. I think I will since I plan on taking the beast with me to class.
