the price should be lower once you call DS give them the ticket number and ask them to remove OS also, I think we are over the buget with shipping by a few bucks.

Now this is just an example, since you are waiting till may/april to get the SB, then we need to reconfig, as prices change and a new config is needed to take advantage of any price drops.

You lose HT, and does help in a few games now but in the future it will play a bigger part IMO, and it does make a difference in apps, justin made a good post you should read it here.

for more gpu power you can oc the card to get 570 performance.
