    So what's the latest rumor on the 8700M GTs and SLI for the 9260?

    Does anyone else think it's strange that only single 8700 is being offered on the 9260?

    Is it an MXM-III card like on the MRU570, or a true MXM-IV card?

    I haven't seen a single post from someone who has purchased a Sager lappy with an 8700.

    I'd buy a couple 8700's in SLI. The performance should be very good (not as good as 7950's but still smok'n). Also the total power consumption for two 8700's is right around that of a single 7950 (so more battery life).

    I'd try to buy a couple now with a 9260 if there was any confidence that a driver update would eventually provide SLI capability.
