    Great link Sidicas, thanks for sharing it with us.

    I plan to have a DX10 video card in my next notebook - I have an X700 now, that can handle any game out there at decent settings. Even if I bought a different notebook with a Go7900GTX, the graphics wouldn't technically be better, just faster and I would have the ability to run at higher settings.

    DirectX 10 looks very promising indeed.

    Hey Chaz mate,

    I am also waiting for a DirectX 10 laptop... I think they will feature the X2700/X2800 mobility cards... And when you got that videocard with a Merom at 2.33 Ghz with 800 FSB and 2 GB DDR2 800 Mhz... ooh wait I am dreaming again ;)

    Charlie-Peru :)

    By the way Merom will be DX10 supported with a driver! A game that will support DX10 is Crysis, a game from FarCry makers.
