out off interest have you ordered it with a x64 bit vista OS?
as far as i am aware the maximum usable memory on the 32bit operating systems is 4 Gb so windows wont see the other 4 gb

I wish they wouldn't multiply the stock speed *4 just because it has 4 cores--cars don't go twice as fast as motorbikes do they? Or biplanes twice as fast as monoplanes?
Looks like a nice bit of kit all the same,at least it will crash faster! ;D
