There are a couple of key differences - Turion64 vs. Athlon 64X2, Dual |
| 30 |
7800's vs. single 7800, 19" vs. 17" are the key ones that I see. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
After customization, I ended up paying about $3500 for mine, but the |
| 33 |
prices have a dropped $100-200 since I bought mine. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
OK, exact model & options on mine- |

1920x1200 screen w/ 3-year Accident Protection warranty |
| 41 |
nVidia GeForce 7800 Go GTX w/ 256MB Memory (didn't release the 7900 |
| 42 |
until a few weeks after I'd bought mine... bummer... :( ) |
| 43 |
Athlon 64X2 4400+ CPU (Lowest one that had a full 1MB cache per core) |
| 44 |
1GB Ram |
| 45 |

| 52 |
probably mail-in) |
| 53 |

|
| 55 |
All that + shipping ran me about $3500 - looks like it's down to about |
