    Asus G73JH Republic of Gamers vs. Sager NP8120

    although from what i can tell... there are several different companies to buy either the sager or the asus from it is just a matter of finding the company that sells the cheapest and still has good customer support/warranty. and i think i wrote that in wrong. the asus was roughly 4500...

    Sager NP8120 vs Alienware M17x

    ok just to clear it up... which one of the three drives that exist for the sager np8120 is the main boot up drive...or can it be configured to whichever drive you choose(which i don't think it can). would it be the first one?(which would mean that if i wanted a raid 0/1 config i would have to...

    Sager NP8120 vs Alienware M17x

    would putting the SSD in the third drive slot( so that i would not have to put forth the money for 2 SSD's) have the same effect of speeding up the system or would it not be considered a main drive and therefore not used until the computer needed that space?

    Asus G73JH Republic of Gamers vs. Sager NP8120

    I am wondering which one of these laptops is better for your money since the prices of the two are very far apart: 1)Asus G73JH Republic of Gamers (roughly $3800 USD) CPU: i7 - 920XM Processor Extreme Edition GPU: ATI Mobitlity Radeon HD5870 with 1GB GDDR5 Memory: 8GB DDR3/1333MHz...

    Sager NP8120 vs Alienware M17x

    btw... if i do go with the 160GB SSD in RAID 0/1... the second hard drive would have to be identical to the first, which means that it will still end up being more expensive then if i just go with the 920XM and the original 500GB Hard Drives.

    Sager NP8120 vs Alienware M17x

    lol...well.... money is an option so that's why i was "pretending" xD although, ya, i might just drop the processor down to 820QM to get that ssd. but i was not inclined to get the ssd because it only seemed, from what i can understand, to decrease boot up time/start up time for applications...
