    The M570RU can go up to 9800M GT (aka. 8800M GTX), 9800M GTS, and no one has tested it, but I think it can even use the 9800M GTX / GTX 260M / GTX 280M.
    .... the last 2 cards listed might require a BIOS update (which does not exist yet).

    I´m waiting for a proper heatsink for 8800M GTX in M57RU, and if it comes i´ll try 98MGTX and Quadro FX 3700M. :D

    A idea is look on the Alienware forum they have a M15x running a 280 gtx. But it seem the system running hot like 100c.
