    See, i was going to buy a 8800m Gtx for 420€, and the day the card arrived at the shop i made the decision to wait for the m260 and the store didnt have a problem with it, so now i see their price of the m260 and its 360€......with the m280 being 580€. Does anyone have prices for these in Uk or States?

    That would be an amazing price :D. But I will still be bashing at Nvidia for paying 700 USD for a video card that can't overclock properly over 850Mhz on the memories.

    About the 260M, I was told by Xotic to check back in mid to late April, after the launch of the new notebooks, for the availability and pricing of the individual cards.

    yeah, ATI HD 3870 card is only $230.
    I assume the 4870 will be around $400.

    I really hope ATI cards will finally used in Clevo laptops, officially or "un-officially".
