thats quite a price difference. and the graphics cards are basically the same.

any chance of bringing in some at more affordable levels ? now ive seen machines with x300 cards in and even (lol ) 5200. thats not what i'm after. a machine with a basic 6600 is nice , and can also be used for a quick game or 2 on my 32 " hd ready panasonic lcd :)
