As you can tell by the title I am very excited about this and cannot wait for it to arrive I just hope I have made the right choice with all the componants! What a choice!! The only one I was most unsure was the cpu but I just dont think the performance jump warrents the additional cost from the 4800mq to the 4900mq?

So there it is,I would really appreciate any thoughts and feedback anyone may have.

32GB of RAM is an awful lot, what are you planning on using it for?

Hmmm.... you can't really say 'it's an awful lot' until you know what they're using it for....

If they said "Powerpoint presentations" THEN you could say that

hi guys,
yeah I know 32gb is major overkill for more than anything really but I had the funds and by going with the 4800mq rather than the 4900mq I was able to up the ssd from 240 to 480gb and go for the 32gb ram for the same money. Seemed like more bang for my buck as they say!
Also with extra ram I could try other things like ram disk etc, not sure i would but I could?
I will be using my new machine for programming and compiling and also a lot of virtualisation work, the thought process was to plan for the future as much as possible although we all know even this machine will be outdated before it arrives lol!
Thank you for your comments.
