    Did you guys see this?

    'ATI recently announced a new graphics card for notebook PCs, the X1600, which basically replaces the current X700 offering from ATI. The X1600 uses a 90nm manufacturing process and its claim to fame is not that it's the most powerful graphics processor, but rather is much better on performance per watt and overall cooler running -- both important factors for a notebook PC.'

    When will we see ASUS systems powered by this GPU? :asus:

    The Question is, how can I slap one into my W2V?

    Well, if your Asus comes with AXIOM technology (which I think it does) then yes. All you have to do is buy one when it comes out in stores/online.

    If your ASUS has a slot for your Vid-card rather then the card being soldered to the mainboard then you have AXIOM. Not sure about the A6Va.
