    The first batch of M860TU's are getting shipped with Quadro FX 1600M cards now.

    Only a few vendors are doing it at the moment, mainly:
    - AVADirect
    - MGEPconline

    These are Pro-Star/M-Tech resellers... as for AVAdirect, they have multiple sources for their Clevo systems, even doing their own importing.

    The MXM Type IV slot in the M860TU seems to support previous MXM-IV cards fine.

    Get ready for some other Quadro options (probably not 3700M since it may be too hot), but the Quadro 1700M & 2700M should be out soon.

    Now people can have this as a 15.4" 3D workstation option. :)

    FYI, the Quadro 1600M is equivalent to a Geforce 8700M GT.

    the Quadro 3600M (~ to 8800M GTS) may be put in the backburner for Nvidia since it might be outdated (to them) now.

    the 1700M is looking to be a 9700M GT (128-bit mem interface) equivalent

    the 2700M is looking to be a 9700M GTS (256-bit mem interface) equivalent

    I know that we will be adding the FX2700 to our 860TU (NEXUS) this week.

    FX3700 is a little further away and will be available in other chassis :)

    I know the 3700M will not be good is the 15.4" chassis... but it would be fine in the 17" chassis.
