    I lost my chance in getting the Dual Sli GTX8800m. So I was wondering is there a card available now that is in between that and my existing GT 8700. It is the factory card they bundled with my XPS1730m. I just want to get rid of some lag in the playback of heavy moving pixels (Arkham, GTA4) and high rez MKV movies. My existing card does not play MKV. I have tried all the other software options without success. Any help? Thanks.

    Thanks. Can you tell me where I can buy the 9800m cheap? I need a reseller link please. Compatible to the XPS 1730m.
