    I know there is a Buy, Sell, Trade thread but I don’t know how many of the owners of the 9260, 9261 (D900C) who have upgraded to the 8800GTX look at the Buy, Sell, Trade thread and it is not easy staying on top of that thread due to the high number of posts.

    If the moderators feel it is inappropriate to post a request like this here then I will be glad to move my post.

    I am looking to buy a second 7950GTX for my Sager NP9260. If anyone who has upgraded or is upgrading to the 8800GTX and would like to sell a 7950GTX please contact me or leave me your contact info.

    Thanks
    WackMan

    I will probably buy a 8800M GTX, and then I will have a 7950GTX lying around. But as eleron911 said, it will probably be later this year, like in May/June, if you still want it then.

    I would like to sell my 8700 in order to get a 8800 but i have a M570RU....which means that it doesn´t have a SLI connector, right? So it´s useless for a D901C user...

    I don`t think it matters,it should be the same MXM type module.

    Hmm, slim picking on the 7950 GTX. I was hoping to get one before April but it looks like I will be taking up either eleron911 or FriescoPowers on their offer. I called Sager and a couple of other reseller but none have the 7950 anymore. Boy they killed it fast. Come to think of it, a couple of days ago I was at a few sellers and resellers sites and they don’t seem to list or mention the 8700 anymore. Did they kill that one too?

    At any rate I am glad that the 8700 owners jumped on board. Maybe someone will get another card for a reasonable price and someone will get some money toward their upgrade to the 8800. It’s all good.

    When I first bought my 9260 some 7 or 8 months ago, I knew that the DX10 cards were in the making, so I gambled on it being upgradeable and did not buy mine in SLI, but hey such is life, you win some, you loose some (I personally would like to win ONE every now and then). I guess buying a specialty item of sorts limits your upgrades.

    I am considering upgrading very soon too, and Ive currently got an 8700. Are you still looking for those? And are you looking for more than one?

    What is your asking price for your card. For how much will you be selling it for. Also your location to see if it is closer to me. I bought a Ps3 80GB for $425 and i am going to sell it to my cousing so i will have the money available soon.
