Question on Intel i5 "performance" config

 

 New to the DS forums, but I have been looking at DS for my next gaming system purchase which I intend to make by end of month.

 

 I wanted to make a built based upon the new P55 mobo/chipset (with the i7 860 CPU), but noticed under the "performance" config using the P55 that memory options are limited to either 2GB or 4GB currently.  Would it be possible to get this config but with more than 4GB (ie, preferrably 8GB) of memory?

 

Also - any plans/ETA for having the new Radeon 5850 or 5870 GPU's as an option?

 

Thanks for response in advance - I emailed the 'sales' email address these questions over a week or so ago but never heard back (which is odd considering other competitors are relatively prompt with such responding to such inquiries).

 

Regarding the GPU - I am not interested in NVIDIA, and since I need to order this system by EOM, then waiting for their next GPU launch is not an option for me anyway.

 

 In terms of memory I would rather get as much now versus have to get more later - so what do I need to do to order the system w/ more than the configurator shows - do I have to call in the order (and how more money is 8GB of memory above the 4GB for the config below)?
