from alienware-steve's posts in another thread about the 9800, if they test it right to be comfortable for the 5500 then it will be avaliable thus we see a another 6 months for the 5500 product line. the 256 mb model is lilely to be offerred.....

alienware steve, how long will the 5500 be on the market??? i think of buying in may 2005. will it be avaliable by then???

Unfortunately, that specific information is not currently available to me.

I will keep my eyes and ears open; as soon as I hear anything new about the 5500 and the 9800 upgrade module, I will post it on notebookforums.com.

Interesting... I'll have to wait and see what happens next too. Maybe I'll get more RAM this Christmas instead of the 9700.

A 9800 upgrade would make me fully happy with my AW purchase...we'll see...as it stands now a 9600 to 9700 as my only upgrade (at least only upgrade worth considering) seems a little disheartening to me! Oh well...overall I am very content with my purchase but my biggest selling point was the upgradeability and with no 256mb 9800 or higher card as of yet...I am a little upset...hopefully AW will happily surprise us all!!!

I'm alittle lost - who exactly has hard proof this is going to happen. Seems to me this is just another "maybe"

yeah, I havn't had the opportunity to purchase any upgrades, if they throw the 9800 out there I'll be a satisfied customer .. on some level I wish I could have an x800m in my machine but a 9800 would make me happy enough not to complain, heh
