What are the major differences between the XPS-2 and 9300?

What are the major differences between the XPS-2 and 9300? I want to use the $750 dollar coupon before it expires and not sure which model to get.

Besides the 6800 graphic card what other major differences are there that would be worth the extra money for the XPS-2? It seems you can get a real good deal on the 9300 right now.

I would mostly be using this for business, watching movies, and some gaming but not much.

Thanks for the help...

Also forgot one question, does the 9300 scale resolution to lower sizes so it is easier to read like the XPS-2?

Do you ever use proper grammar? Such as periods, commas, capital letters, etc?

Edit: Not trying to be rude, but it's sometimes hard to read your posts.

so if those are the only difference, then are the rumors about the 9300 video card not being able to upgrade hold true to the xps2?

I thought dell would make the xps2 upgradable since that was a hit with the xps....

Yeah, I saw that press release too. At first, I thought it was kind of cool of them. But I wondered why they would talk about upgrading such a high-end video card. And then it hit me. They just copied and pasted the words from the original iXPS press release.
