$2900.08

2720QM
8GB DDR3 1333Mhz 2 Dimms
6970CF
750GB 7200RPM
Intel 6300

Great to hear that.....Don't you want to add $40 to get 8GB 1600mhz 4dimm if you only use 8GB at max.....you have 4 yrs CC to cover your ram....For me, I will only use 8GB...$40 is cheaper than buying hyper X 8GB 2dimm.

for me theres no point in upgrading the ram since ill have 8gb now. theres almost 0 difference in 1333 vs. 1600 so that $40 is better spent elsewhere for me. id rather have 2 dimms being used up. this way itll cost me $80 to get another 8gb and go to 16gb.

pretty sweet deal though, $460 in total savings!!!! new EDD of 6/2/2011 sucks though


btw, i have 16gb of ram in my desktop and i never use more than 4gb.

Now Dell canada offer $260 off on the m18X....$2199.99 Base model+6970m CF.+8GB 1333mhz ram 2dimm+750 GB HDD or you can add $40 to get 1600 mhz 8GB ram 4 dimm. I have to replace my order again and will add $40 to get 1600mhz 8GB ram 4 dimm.

For those who placed order on Dell Canada.....may need to reorder it to get extra free ram and hdd.

Thanks for the heads called my rep back he is going to reorder the system for me.

The 750gb would be better if you're going to add a SSD later on.

The 750gb would be better if you're going to add a SSD later on.

I might dual-boot. the hybrid will destroy the 750gb in performance. Plus the warranty later on might give me a better hybrid drive. I think long term when I buy AW.
