    Chaz posted this on 2/22, so no new news from me. "Nvidia recently unveiled its workstation-class QuadroFX 3600M graphics card for notebooks. It features up to 512MB of dedicated memory and a 256-bit memory interface for up to 51.2GB/s of memory bandwidth. The first laptop to feature it will be the HP Compaq 8710w mobile workstation, which currently runs north of $2,500."

    Question: any idea when these might show up in the 9262?

    The Quadro cards are GeForce equivalents for businesses applications. I doubt Sager would put out a notebook with a Quadro card in it, but you can look for a GeForce card with similar statistics.
    Quadros and GeForces have similar architectures, so it's not far off.

    www.pcmicroworks.com are selling their Black-hawk (Clevo 901c) with a quadro card: nVIDIA Quadro FX 1600M OpenGL Workstation Card. Not the 3600 but still a quadro card :)

    That 1600M is the equivalent of a 8700GT. Not too bad at all.

    Yes, it is. The Quadro cards are very expensive and targeted to business users, which usually buy HP or Dell when wanting for a 17".
