That really is a nice bonus. I hope mine comes with 1333 RAM too.
0100 1010 0101 0011, can you test the speaker and tell us the overall quality/volume?

[quote]A few more pics. Definitely were supposed to get 1066 memory, but got 1333. That's a really nice bonus.

I may just skip the wifi upgrade if only 2-wire, skip the IC upgrade if temps look good and order stock. Now, if I find enough extra "change" in the drawer, have it overnighted and to heck with the free shipping!

I wish I still had my DAT so I could run it through a spectrum analyzer, but I am thoroughly impressed. The Subwoofer, being in the front, helps you to hear more of the mid-base. (I wold imagine Asus didn't make this a true 60hz and below subwoofer). Sounds like maybe some of the mid base is also coming from there....maybe 125hz and below. Still, the highs are nice and crisp, mids are tight, and the sub-base is better than I expected. I think the dpeakers in my old Dell Inspiron 8500 were better at everything BUT the subwoofer. If there is a place to adjust the EQ, I haven't found it yet, but stock is fine, even if all eq settings are at medium. If I can change the eq settings, I know I will be really impressed.

Thanks for the update. Is it loud enough? I remember G51J-A1's volume was so low that I had to use earphones.
How is the integrated microphone?

I am in the cafeteria at school and it is way too loud! You will not need headphones, unless you are using it at an NBA game!

If anyone is keeping score, Justin at Xotic OC'd the G73 and got 8913 in Vantage! OC'd to 799/1200

Thanks for the pics and info current owners. I feel the Zalman ZM-NC2000 Notebook Cooler will do very well gently pushing cool air into the memory vents while air is also sucked in from the top.
I will also attempt to reverse the fans so the cooler will suck air out of the memory and HDD compartment and compare to air pushed in.

EDIT: As pointed out by 0100 1010 0101 0011, air is drawn in through the memory vents by the Asus fans, so only use a cooler that pushes air in (or a passive cooler). It will assist with the overall cooling design with only the force of the air to be tested.

...This post is reserved for my testing and results of that cooler...

It was fun reviewing the different computer languages in my last iSeries class last semester. At 36, I was able to "fit in" haha.
