    No Dell Laptops have PCIe yet.

    I doubt we'll see anything more than 9800 mobility in the i9200. I'm betting they're working on getting it into the laptop now...and will probably introduce it after the first of the year. It's not being sold as a high end gaming laptop like the XPS line are. I would look for Dell to introduce PCIe in the XPS line after the start of the new year. All of this is just a guess though...

    hmm..., well to start no dell doesnt have PCI-E yet. i doubt they will come in with a MR9800 in the 9200 because it is too thin (i think thats the reason), mean the xps and 9100 are a good half inch thicker than the 9200, so i dont think so. i also dont think that they are going to make PCI-E on them for a while, because the MR9800 hasnt had enough spotlight yet. Just when they were holding #1, alienware comes out with the Go6800 and all of a sudden dell falls behind again. i'd like to see a pci-e in the 9200, along with dual optical drives and HD's, that would be amazing.
