    Seems like they have some of their facts wrong, I don't know how Hypersonic would magically get their own GDDR3 card as a fact whilst having a 256-bit memory interface. Either they're lying or they don't have their facts straight.

    Yeah, Hypersonic doesn't seem to be a very satisfactory company like Powernotebooks or XoticPC; a lot of their info is wrong on their website or overly exaggerated, that alone would turn me off from them.
