    Hi, Long time no talk everyone.

    I still have my o'le d900c with single 8800m I was wondering what the upgrade path I could take?

    Mobo upgrade? to get newer video cards? how many gen's am I behind?

    I wanted another 8800m but have been unable to find one.

    thanks

    hey dex... long time.

    your system is probably in no need of upgrade since your CPU is plenty fast and the 8800M GTX is still a top performer.

    ... maybe the 2nd 8800M GTX will give you a greater boost in 3D gaming performance

    you do not need to get a 9800M GTX... its only 5-10% faster than your current 8800M GTX (aka. 9800M GT)

    you can contact a Clevo vendor directly to ask for the 8800M GTX with SLI cable.
    - start with Sager, then RJtech

    Hey Gophn, Nice to see ya! familiar faces... and all.

    Sounds good.

    I will commence the hunt for the 8800m then.

    I think I will be sticking around for a while here.

    I have called Sager and RJtech, nobody has them. Only 9800 gtx are available for about 965 dollars each.
