    Hello everybody. I live in Spain and I was looking for a link or something with available laptops having the 7900/7950 GTX graphic card on them. Can somebody help please?

    I was looking for laptops available in the EU, but global links are always welcome. Also a list with ALL laptops having these cards will be great, as I will starting googling them to see if I find any active sales.

    All I could found was from an AHTEC firm, I don't know much about them, but their stock with the 17'' gtx is over.

    Thank you for your time.

    Other posters will be more helpful, but I know that http://www.rockdirect.com/ sells Clevo notebooks, which are among the top echelon of high-end notebooks (and you can get 7900s, 7950s, or SLI 7950s in most of their current high range). Rock Direct is based in the UK, but they ship all over the EU.

    thank you for the info. I'll give it a check right now! :)

    LE: I found this add on eBay and they ship in ES also. What do you think of the price? Should I look further?

    http://cgi.ebay.es/DELL-XPS-M1710-2GB-NVIDIA-7950GTX-2-16G-160GB-7200-U-MI_W0QQitemZ270165324383QQihZ017QQcategoryZ28837QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

    Another edit: I looked on rockdirect, but they don't have any 7950 GTX. It seems 8700 it taking their place, but I hate vista, and I consider 7950 better. They only have that monster with SLI 7950 20" which is out of my range... other suggestions?



    Another edit (trying to avoid double posting, sry): Ok, my bad I saw that if i choose to customize it, it allows me to swith with a 7950 but they ask an extra 100 pounds. Is it worthy? Please some advise... Thank you thank you!

    The 7950 is more powerful than the 8700, which is why it still costs more. Both run very well, and the 8700 actually works just fine in XP (you simply lose the potential for DX10).

    Given my choice, I'd go with the 7950 over the 8700, but you can't go wrong with either card, no matter which OS you're running.
