8 gig ddr2??

[Dabman]

Have any of you heard of DDR3 RAM for laptops. I read some articles about montevina supporting it, I might just buy DDR3 RAM seperatally if it works with the HP motherboard. (crossing my fingers) AND WHAT A NOOB RESOLUTION FOR THE SCREEN. WOW!!!!! US BETTER HAVE A BETTER OPTION.

Ok so if i have this right, $1399 CDN for a dv7t with a 9600M GT and Blu-Ray? Isn't that a really good price?!

And if this is any indication, will we see a dv5t with similar specs (at least 9600M GT, I don't need Blu-Ray) for around $1000 CDN? I would LOVE that!

I think I stumbled on some good news this morning. Check out this PDF on the dv7t. It shows a higher resolution option for the screen!!!!! Check it out.

- I just bought the dv7t and here are my specs. The order come up to roughly over $2300 which is very steep. I should be receiving it in 2 weeks.

- I kept it 3gig because it was free and I could always buy a 2gig ddr2 for $55 and save $45.

- I moved up to the infinity display because as the sales person says "The screen reaches closer up to the edge of the laptop for a cleaner look... or something.
ALSO IMPORTANT NOTE**** users purchasing this order who also ordered the quickdock for $93(probably student discount price) will be getting an older version which does not work with the new dv series. They need to order a bit more expensive one from the sales rep... I don't know why but he states that the model placed online was an error and hasn't been updated yet as that model is used for the previous dv series (dv6000, dv9000, etc).

- The HP400 gig dock drive xb3000, I think it is the dock selection underneath the quickdock selection is for the harddrive alone not the xb3000, as HP sales rep has said that they have been sold out of xb3000.

- I didn't take the blu-ray because I already have a playstation 3 to enjoy any movies, and I'm looking for the drive price to drop in the near future.

- I also took 2yr accidental damage protection... personally because I broke my tx1000us screen 3 weeks after buying it last year... and I don't want to make the same mistake. Anyways there isn't much of a deal with this laptop, but I am really really excited.

Also the sales rep stated that the new dv series can read upto 8gigs of ram but only has 2 dimm slots. So we'll all just have to wait for a affordable 4 gig ram stick.

is the 9600gt gddr3 or ddr2?
