    So it turned out, GTX 660m is a 75 TDP watt card like the 560m so it's not really power efficient. All it has is the new name Kepler for bragging rights and calling it new tech like Nissan did.

    I thought the fact that it was 75W was known? Where's the new info you are talking about in multiple threads. Provide a link.

    Nice that's what I wish as well. I'm eagerly waiting for any retailer who sells such a variant. I only know that Eurocomm sells the 660m but with 1gb DDR3 and would like to see a 2gig one

    2GB won't matter one iota. Not unless you plan on gaming with dual or triple displays. It'd be better to have 1GB 192-bit bus than 2GB 128-bit bus.
