    there is no such thing, 8800m gtx is a mobile card, and 8800 GT is a desktop card, 8800m GT does not exist. for SLI 8800m GTX they are gonna be 1024MB

    Erm, what laptop are you looking into buying? A 256MB version of the card doesn't even exist as far as I know.

    oopsss...........
    Nirvana what you saying is that for 8800M gtx it either come in 125MB or 512MB.
    so when the notebook spec said 512MB sli that mean it will be 2 x 512MB card.

    GTX only comes in 512, no 125. If you get 8800m GTX SLI, you are getting 2 512MB cards.

    I never said anything about 125MB. there is only one version of 8800m GTX which is 512MB.
    for laptops with a single 8800m GTX: alienware m15x, sager np5793
    for laptops with two 8800m GTX (totally 1024MB): alienware m17x, sager np9262, dell m1730

    I think sirmetman meant to say that if you get the 8800m GTX SLI you are getting 2 512MB cards, but yeah, there's only one version of the 8800m GTX, and it is a 512 MB card.

    Nirvana, I think metman was referring to the OP's question/statement that the GTX comes in either 125 or 512MB versions
