    Are the late Adoptors cooked? Will the M1730 be PWNED In performance with single 9800M GTX and the new Core2Extreme processor?

    OR will they be more or less neck and neck in terms of gaming performance with a dual 8800M GTX Set up?

    Seems the new toshiba gaming laptop will provide 4gb DDR3, 9800MGTX, Core2Extreme Montevina for 3,500$.

    Thoughts?

    well , after G84 & G86 core goes wrong with the notebook, we should focus on the new 9 serial video card or G92 core 8800.

    Next gens video card already show out, and we should looking forward to them. Such as 9650 9800 etc.
