ScrapSilicon, thanks for providing the link. There are some who think electrosoccerfux's complete failure to mention a model number would make it harder to find out about this hot deal, but I'm not among those people.

intogamer, I've always admired the "nothing is too hard to do if someone else has to do it" approach to life. I looked and the Toshiba has the spec your looking for at their web site.

someone's sour.....

Yeah sorry for no model number. It is ~8 digits long. Couldn't remember it.

FSB533 is PC4200 so that the memory is matching speed. (533 x 8 ~= 4200)

As of 8/11/06, 9:30 Pacific Daylight Savings Time,the link above still takes you to a page that says the price is $749 but, when you order it, the price is $849. Apparently someone discovered a mistake somewhere or the linked page above has a typo on the price.

This was B&M for me. Checked it out after seeing an OD commercial.

I would buy this if I could upgrade to a 12-cell battery.

Where is the other $100 in rebates? There is one $150 rebate linked on OD product page (which shows price of $850).

I'm not sure, but I think the other rebate was an instant $100 off and you only sent in the one rebate?? I looked at this yesterday, but didn't order it.
