I got my m5550 credited yesterday.

Here is the brief description of the lifespan of my m5550.

-10 months of use. (not including 1 month down time.)
-4 times of repairs.
-3 GPU swaps
-1 year warranty ends this May.

Yeah, hopefully no downclocking issues. I'm a little worried about that. Might just go with the 8700GT for now, just to be safe. Until AW gets it worked out.

I'm might just take the chance and go for the m8800. No point in waiting.

They gave me credit to buy whatever I wanted on the AW. And, of course, I chose the m15x.

Phase 2 Baby!!! yeah..finally lol.

Updated with m15x specs up top.

Thanks guys. I already bought some Gskill ram in an effort to save some money. lol AW ram is too expensive.

I ordered the ram from Newegg.

@Steve - yea, I'll get a review up once I get the first week of May. (when hopefully, I'll have it)

I'll be out of school by then.

Yea, they are still proccessing my last package which I sent to them last week...wondering why it takes so long. Is there that many people canceling ?? Either that or AW site is not up to date.

I'm gonna email Roswell and see what's going on...getting worried here...

Cool everything is going well.. Got the email from Roswell.

The last package was processed yesterday, so I'm on my way to the next phases.

I must have checked my order status 100+ times today already. lol
