    Since nobody has answered my question and I can not find anything about it on Alienware at all I'm going to say that the links are fake.

    These two notebook models are set to launch on November 19th in New York.

    They are not supposed to be debuted on the site yet... but the coding was discovered to exist on their site already.

    So you can use an existing template to uncover their options and configurations.

    Expect for these models to officially appear on the homepage in one week or so.

    Before you get too excited, none of these are finalized yet, and still have some questionable additions (keyboard w/ numeric pad on a 15.4").

    15.4" notebook with x7900 and 8800GTX. Unbelievable. I'm really jealous...

    Stupid M570ru.

    By the way, is the x7900 worth upgrading to from a T7700? If "yes", where can I get a x7900? I will be getting the 8800GTX without question, however do I just throw out the 8700m or what?

    the Intel Extremem CPUs are never bang for the buck, only for those that want to throw away money, or does not have to pay for it themselves.

    You'd think Alienware would make a bigger fuss if they had made a 15.4" laptop with an 8800m. :eek:

    they will, their Nov 19 launch has been a huge secret for all employees for a while now.

    they even made a contest to decipher an alien message to win a trip and stuff for the launching.

    I still find it very hard to believe that Alienware made a 15.4" (who's the ODM?) that has an 8800m and an Intel x7900. :eek:

    Seems a bit far fetched to me, but I'm no laptop designer. Maybe they got hands on some alien technology.... :p

    On alienware forums, they found a link on alienware website with 15 and 17 inch notebooks with 8800mGTX_let me repeast MOBILE! The website is still being desinged. I called alienware, and said new product will be out soon, but they were very careful not to saying anything about card.

    HOpefually, toshiba, dell, alienware, and others will have this card soon. I am going nuts waiting for this card for my new high end laptopt! I want to purchase 8700m, but am going to wait. Any other info?

    Where's the marketing push for this 8800m card that's a month away? Just to lay it all out there seems a bit odd to me, not that they haven't done this in the past but this is finally the card that will be the supposed leader on mobile platforms! Has anyone heard if it will support directx 10.1?

    That is a most definite NO. There is no nVidia based GPU supporting DX10.1 at this point.
    Gophn, seems that alienware staff is paying attention at what notebookreview says about them :D
    8800M will be somewhere between the 8800GTS 320mb and the 8800GT 512, as the specs say...however,since it might consume just 35 W, I would like to see higher clock speeds,closer to the 8800GT at least...then we can say it is the Beast. :)

    Rumors where that the 8800m (GT) consumes only 22W. Given that the 8700 GT consumes 20W, it seems strange to me. However, if alienware succeeded into putting it in a 15.4 case.... There should be also a GTX version, and the 8700GT should be renamed 8800m GS.

    The 8700GT eats upto 35 W, I don't know where you got the 20W info from.
    I think we should leave the renaming part to nVidia :D

    EDIT : Gophn, you beat me to it :D

    Hmm have a hard time believe this 8800m will reach 8800GT speeds, given how much heat the 8800GT generates :) But this is great news, maybe time to get a new lappie with a mobile 8800m.

    But damn I wished the 8800m would at least have GTX amount of shaders, this card is nowhere near my 8800GTX in terms of performance if the specs are correct, I wished it become as fast as my current 8800GTX.

    And given how easy my 8800GTX is to overclock too, I think heat puts a stop really early in overclocking the 8800m.

    Tell me I´m wrong, just speculating here :) But a 15,4 with a 8800m I say WOOT! :)

    Desktop cards will always be faster than their corresponding laptop card. But 8800M will definitely be a huge improvement over 8700M GT and the current fastest laptop card Go 7950 GTX. And that, if it really fits into 15,4" is awesome news and IMHO a real step up for the enthusiast level laptops. Currently only 17" notebooks can handle the heat levels of current fastest cards.

    i dunno...quad sli to me seems pretty pointless...firstly it would cost about 3000+ just for the cards, and then a year later another card will come out that will beat all 4, for 1/4 the cost.

    FX 1600M = NVS 320M = 8700M GT

    However, the NVS drivers are meant for lower power consumption and heat, the FX drivers support some hardware accelerated features not available for the other two cards.

    Also, if you install regular GeForce drivers on the NVS 320M / FX 1600M they will perform like the 8700M GT in games...

    QUAD SLI with card like the 8800GT cost only ~1000 $ . And they should run ANYTHING at the highest possible resolution.
    The 8700MGT, call it as you like, has a TDP of 35 W. End of story.
