    Could you elaborate what "Upgrades" can be done Cyrus? I looked at the unit on the AW site and did not see any mods available for that particular uint other then perephials.

    I believe you start out with only the i3 chip, 6 gigs of ram, and the lower of the three vid cards. The upgrades go to more ram, either an i5 chip or the bigger i7 chip, and the next two vid cards.. As far as I could see on the site. :D

    Good luck!

    I guess Cyrus will review all the threads tomorrow when he gets into work. But I'm going to close the finished threads temporarily with a notice so as to avoid confusion.
