    On the XoticPC website it says "DirectX 10 compatible". I do hope Nvidia doesn't release another DirectX 10 videocard even though we're going into the DirectX 11 age...

    Darn! I'm giving up on the N53JQ-A1... I wanted something with specs at least as high as the ATI HD 5730, unfortunately Nvidia didn't give it to me... :mad:

    I didn't want to migrate to ATI, but I guess Nvidia is forcing me...

    I'm agreeing here. Maybe the 425m drivers are just green, but there is something different about this (and the 460m) card if you read the nVidia and Adobe sites. As of now, they aren't saying that this is going to do parallel processing with Adobe products, and Elemental (Badaboom Vid Conversion) specifically says it doesn't work for them yet.

    Even notebookcheck is suggesting this is somehow different from the 330m when it comes to general computing, as if it is tailored for games and HDMI output. That's my reading, anyhow.

    I was very excited about the N73jq, but not with that card now. I might end up buying an older N71jq-X1 from Amazon and live with a single HDD for the time. (GenTech seems to be sold out...)

    What exactly is the hold up on this model? Wasn't it supposed to be out last month?

    There's always the ViDock option, ever since getting a ViDock with a real desktop GTX 460, I couldn't care less about the onboard GPU anymore.
    All you need is a powerful CPU and make sure it got a ExpressCard slot.
