    So as I understand, this guy is not yet released. But here is a link:

    http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWeb/Products/ProductsDetail.aspx?MenuID=18&LanID=0&DetailID=512&DetailName=Specification


    comes in at 6.6 lbs, pentium m, an an x700

    "Graphic controller:
    ATI MOBILITY™ RADEON® X600se (M24C) HyperMemory™ *
    ATI MOBILITY™ RADEON® X700 (M26)
    PCI Express X16, DX9 compliant
    ATI MOBILITY™ RADEON® X600se (M24C) external video memory support up to 64MB or 128MB HyperMemory™*
    ATI MOBILITY™ RADEON® X700 (M26) external video memory support up to 128MB or 256MB
    Flexible frame buffer DDR SDRAM memory."

    does that actually mean you can get an x700 256mb, or just incorporating more virtual memory?


    two of four major suppliers in the US are located within 30 minutes drive of my house, so thats a plus as well.

    Tay , the x600 seems to use some memory of the system main memory ,
    the new cards usually take half like it has 64 and take another 64 = 128 .

    The x700 seems to have the entire memory on board , 128 or 256 are just options .

    Its funny how they manage to find superlative names ( Hyper memory ) to infirior products , its like Intels "Extreme Graphics" , a gpu that will go fast only if you'll drop your laptop out the window of a 20 stories building , which you're likly to do if you ever try to actually run extreme graphics on it .
