    You can also go lower to the 560 series or with a modified vbios the 7970m can work too.

    IIRC it goes all the way back to the 460M and 6970/6990 too.

    only they can answer that one
    im guessing there will be cards available as an upgrade but depending on reseller they could just replace or charge a upgrade fee.
    my 9800GT died under warranty and i was upgraded to the 260gtx which is a better faster card so theres hoe for you yet.

    keep us posted.

    Not being in production doesn't mean anything.

    Sager just replaced my 580M with another about a month ago.

    Plenty of refurbs exists... for now at least, though it did take almost 2.5 weeks to get in from another country they said...

    I still have just over a year of warranty left. What would be interesting is if a year from now if they can still get these things refurbed or if they would be forced to replace the entire machine with comparable, like the EM with a 675 etc.

    Oh well. won't worry about that now. I might be selling this and upgrading anyway.
