Another slightly related question... At what point am I wasting money on the CPU? I'm starting to not feel the need to jack the price up on my machine for a marginal increase in performance, especially when its the GPU, not the CPU thats going to make my machine or break it.
Basically: What CPU chipset is the most bang for my buck?

Alienware has a 17" with a Core Duo and ATI Radeon X1800:

Currently only available as the Superman Returns edition.
Other than that, there's the Clevo M570U as mentioned with a Go7900GTX 256MB. It is commonly rebranded and known as the Sager NP5760, great computer for the money. Much better deal than an XPS M1710 with a better design and build quality, plus a beautiful screen and full-size keyboard.

Currently the 2.0 ghz is the best for the price. However, this is due to a recent Intel reduction in price so many retailers may still be stuck on 1.83 ghz as the best.
