Default MMMmm upgrading!
Well I was going to get an xbox 360 for my gaming goodness, but since I am wayyy too lazy to wait in lines, I decided to upgrade my laptop.

I am getting the xps gen 2 with the following specs:

Processor Intel Pentium M 770 - 2.13GHz - 2MB L2 cache
Motherboard Intel i915PM (dual-channel support, PCI-Express)

Hard Drives Fujitsu MHU2100AT 100GB, 8MB cache, 7200RPM
Screen 17" WUXGA (1920x1200)
Graphics card NVIDIA GeForce Go 6800 Ultra (450/1100)
Optical drive Sony DW-D56A
Optical drive characteristics 8x DVD-R, 8x DVD+R, 4x DVD+RW, 4x DVD-RW, 2.4x DVD+R9, 24x CD-R, 10x CD-RW, 8x DVD-ROM (read)
Sound Intel High-Definition Audio
Modem Conexant D110 MDC
Networking Broadcom 5702 Gigabit LAN, Intel 2200BG 802.11b/g Wireless, Bluetooth, FireWire
Ports connectivity 6x USB2.0, 1x 4-pin FireWire400, modem, RJ45 LAN, S-Video, DVI, HD15, PCMCIA, line-out (audio), microphone-in
Operating system Windows XP Pro
Weight 3.9kg (without charger)
Dimensions 394mm (w) x 288mm (d) x 42mm (h)


I am upgrading it right off the bat to the new 7800 gtx go. Once I get I plan on flashing the bios and overclocking it to 450 core and 1200 mem.....

So what do you guys think, will I be able to play ut 2k7 when it comes out?

It has ambient light in 4 places that can change to all spectrum of colors....

That can be interpreted in more ways than I am comfortable with.

This laptop *IS* the king of the gamers and continues to receive TOP ratings in all the PC mags. I know Alienware is prett good also, but has shit ass support/warranty/reputation compared to DELL.

I have the same one except I have these things:

2.26GHz CPU
256MB Gforce 7800 GTX
Spare Battery, cuz it DOES eat those when I fly on planes.

It smokes on FPS on Q3/UT/CS. It was a bit pricy, but it was well worth

Congrats...you will PWN soon!!!!

(PS: LMAO REVAN)

Kickass screen, although I'd like it more if it was 15" at the same resolution. My eyes can take it.
