D900 with 7950GTX

In a money-saving endeavor, would it be possible to purchase a D900 with only a single GPU, and later add a second 7950 to keep up with newer game engines? I'm not quite sure how MXM works yet, or how these SLI kits come equipped if you only ask for a single GPU.

Also, exactly how difficult would it be to get my hands on a 7950GTX after market?

 

yes you can just order it with one videocards...

go to the Clevo forum, many have done just that.

 

as Gophn said... yes it is.... but you seem to be in the same situation i am, so id offer you my plan. which is buy the single 7950 now... but then wait just a few weeks for SLI8700s or a few months and go SLi8800s which will apparently be a big leap from 87. Also, there might be a 9series release for this DX10.1 stuff.. altho i dont know where they will compare to the 8700 and 7950.

as far as aftermarket. i kno there are some MXM cards being sold if u look on this forum, someone even has a website for them. But i dunno about the 7950. But like i said... your prolly just gonna wanna get a better card by the time u go SLI

 

Thanks for the timely replies, guys. I've been researching notebooks tirelessly for almost a week now in between classes and I can safely say I'm prepared to make a purchase pending some price hunting and checking the funding

Much appreciated! I'll see you on the clevo forums!

 

for D900... www.sagernotebooks.com www.xoticpc.com and my personally recommended favorite. www.pcmicroworks.com they may seem like they cost a lil more, but if you call them up and speak with sales rep. well, u get the picture.

and of course you can always check the Clevo Resellers guide... VERY nicely done Gophn
