    Today HP released its brand new HP HDX desktop replacement laptop. It includes Intel's new Intel Core 2 Extreme Processor X7800 (2.6GHz, 4MB L2 Cache, 800MHz FSB).

    This has me thinking. I always thought Dell was waiting to refresh its XPS M1710 until Intel's new "extreme" chips come out and for nVidia's new 8800m grpahics cards to come out. Unfortunately, HP's HDX uses ATI's DX10 cards, so no new information there for us nVidia people.

    Anyways...when do you suspect Dell to announce a brand new XPS to replace its "getting older by the minute" M1710. (We need Santa Rosa and new graphics cards from nVidia!) : )

    Please discuss.

    Probably as soon as nvidia releases something more powerful than the 8600M/8700M. I personally think AMDs new GPUs are, well, crap. Because they are. Not sure if the mobile versions are very different, but the desktop versions use more power and produce more heat than ANY other GPUs ever made...

    Just give it some time.

    Yeah, I guess it's all a matter of time...but, just any news at all on new chips from nVidia would leave some hope of an imminent release...
