    no[pe, 1024mb of ram is useless with cards such as this, they are not powerful enough to utilize the memory. unless your playing above 1920x1200, there would be no feasable use for it.

    Okay, just making sure we didn't have some kind of 512bit super-card jump in there. (The 1Gb GDDR through me off a little)

    the 8800GT 1gb version is having hard time Utilizing all the Vram.. so how about a mobile version card.

    Hmm the 1024MB is most highlikely SLI. They write 1024 instead of 512x2. Since the cards does not utilize 1024 in SLI even if there is two cards there. This is to trick people. I know did the same with the 8800m GTX SLI wrote that it was 1024 when it is in fact 512 even if you put the two together.

    The 9800M GTX does come with 1GB of GDDR3. Marketing again. Only 512MB is gonna be used. GDDR3 + 256bits= 512MB

    The GTX barely beats the GT in 3dmark06, and averages something like maybe +3 fps in the benchmarks run by Notebookcheck. Definitely not worth the extra money.

    and that would be the problem. dont take anything notebookcheck says too seriously, they are not very accurate, or valued as a statistics site.
