    Hello all,

    Is there such a thing as an 8150-S1 with a 470? I don't see it as a standard option, can it be configured as such with any of the retailers?

    Thanks

    The 470M is not offered or supported in that model.

    Truth be told, it isn't worth $200 over the 460M anyway. Just overclock the latter.

    Disagree. You can overclock the 470m as well.

    Yeah and then overclocked 470M still won't reach a stock 485M, and will only be ahead of an overclocked 460M by about 15%. Since when was 15% worth a $200 premium?

    Sager has phased out the 470M on all their machines :(
