    I've been watching dells website for about 2 weeks straight now, and have come to realize when ready to order a 9300 laptop today that they had removed their Nvidia 6800 series and other nvidia cards for their notebooks... Wtf is up with that?

    This has been discussed in a few other threads, but it's a supply issue.

    Yes - Nvidia sells a lot of its cards through Dell ;) In addition, it would be a bad move by Dell to kick out Nvidia, as the I9300 sells pretty well because of its Nvidia GPU.

    Oh yeah, Michael Dell's keynote at CES had the CFO of Nvidia in it. They were showing off the Dell XPS 600 with the quad 7800gtx.

    okay, i made the other thread a sticky about Dell being out of the cards, so i'm going to lock this one to avoid confusion.
