Processors/Ram Speed options?

I wonder if there will be an option to get a ULV Core i5, and 1333MHz RAM for this little machine. It's asking for a bit much, but having a slow CPU and slow RAM will create a bottleneck for the 335m GPU. So what does everyone think?

I don't know about going for a Core i5 and ddr3 ram due to the price increase (cause the current base price of $799 is pretty sweet). However i would definatly go for a modest ram and processor upgrade. Besides to big of a processer would hurt that sweet battery life!

I'm getting this thing regardless, but a ULV i5 with Turboboost, will work nicely without murdering battery life. And DDR3...well its DDR3. While the options are nice, just the price-point and the GT335 is more than enough to satisfy me. Hopefully the HDD can be upgradeable because I'm in the mood for a SSD.

Theres no i5 options, RAM is limited to size only upgrades with DDR3 800 being our only speed option. GT335 is in the base price.
