    Where did the 470m come form? I've been reading >20 pages back and still didn't find out (or did i missed it). Being able to read the tech spec should be helpful. Someone link it to me please? :D

    Power consumption and details of each printed strip on the card. At least we can pin point the whereabouts of the voltage input, and hopefully alter it ;)

    no new of new M15x of any kind yet, looks like the M17x will be the first to be refreshed, but i'm guessing it would look similar.

    I don't think that the M15X will be updated anytime soon. AW seems to release their 'flagship' first then move on to the other models.

    Nothing to add here... ^^ Always the same problem when you got some nice piece of technology and then something new gets released.

    yeah i can get better battery life if i wanted but i rather have the performance, plus i rarely even use it on battery power anyways, heheheh

    yeah sorry about the 470m, it didn't work out. tried every short of flashing it. if the bios utility actually support the 470m then i would of try but it didn't. plus that card is friggin expensive. same as buying cf 5870's.

    Best way to find out is call them. As far as I know they have different prices, depends on where you're located.
