    Hey guys! :) i was just wondering if ATi Mobility Rad. HD 3850X2 is a single GPU with MXM IV(?) then maybe we can swap our 8800m with this!!

    ATi also claims that the performance of 3850X2 is comparable to 8800m GTX SLi!! :D

    Anyone have any idea on the specifications of the slot used by 3850X2 and would it even fit?? :confused: (if it does then its gonna be AWESOME :D :D )

    Thanks! :)

    The Mobility 3850 X2 is really two MXM cards. Due to driver issues, it is read as a single X2 card.
