I ordered a Hypersonic AX6 (3400+, 9600 Pro) and it scored quite a bit lower on all of the benchmarks that I ran compared to the HP nw8000 with a P-M 1.6 and FireGL (9600 equivalent). AX6: 3DMark 03 - 2400 3DMark 2001 -...

I am extremely happy with it. I ordered a base configuration from an online reseller so that I wouldn't have to wait for weeks to receive it. P-M 1.6 SXGA+ 512 RAM - (ordered 512 more separately, but haven't added it in yet) 40...

What are the main differences between these two models? I noticed that the nw8000 can be configured with a 7200 RPM hard drive, but I don't see much else. Am I missing something?

I am about to order one myself next week. I think the plastic case may make it feel cheaper in comparison to the older models. What do you think of the screen? How does it perform otherwise?
