    Seeing as how Dell sells a single 7950 GTX for the M1710 for about $600, I'd say sli 8800's will go for at least $1000- maybe more....

    .. 600 bucks for a card? Outrageous.

    Well the XPS desktops received free mobo upgrades, and a promotion offer for like 40% off some top of the line Intel CPU..

    So it's a possibility the 1730 will get that. Maybe..

    Alienware want $1000 just for SLI 8800's in they're new laptops so sleey0 might just have hit the nail on the head.

    3500M (7950GTX) on M90 was 1k option lol.

    I'm guessing atleast 800 for the SLI.
