    Great question, but I'd be happy with a 470M GTX.

    ASUS usually doesn't go with the very top end components, so I'd be extremely surprised to see a 480M in anything. By the time Sandy Bridge comes out it'll be just about refresh time for ATI, er... AMD Radeon.

    Like ALLurGroceries said, GTX480M is not on Asus roadmap. the GPU is just too expensive and maybe the next platform will have better GPU than GTX480M and not that expensive. :) .

    Ahhhhh, OK, I get it! So Ken, you are telling me to wait on Asus, featuring a model with SB and the ATI 6xxx..... and forget the G73JW-3D, right?

    LOL!

    :D :D :D
