  Oregon trail WAS awesome. Usually starved to death. Only got across the river once. Quit while i was winning. Watched the boys play some side scroll karate game instead. :D
  
  ALRIGHT. I'll mail my aunt and set this all in stone. (And for a previous pondering someone had, the money was from a vacation to Bush Gardens that didn't happen. Hard choice: Vacation, new laptop...Hmm.) Thanks all!

  Where's your SSD? If your budget is that high, you better have an SSD...
  
  This should work - Newegg.com - OCZ Vertex 2 OCZSSD2-2VTXE120G 2.5" 120GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
  
  Combined with the i7 740QM, Mobility 5850, and 4GB Dual channel, this should be perfect with the SSD.
