Sounds like a disappointing mix for a customer looking for a desk replacement that weighs 10 lbs and offers a full desktop screen.  I certainly hope when released they'll offer 8800 & 9800s otherwise gamers will pass this buy--and who else is really going to be buying these?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Royal]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jul 26th 2008 3:00PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
