    The Clevo D900c(Sager NP9260) will probably get 8700m GT(hopefully better) in SLI.

    You will probably see the "8700m GT"s in SLI instead. They are just overclocked "8600m GT"s anyway.

    actually thats not far from happening.

    like the 7950GX2 from before... which used two mobile 79x0 Go GTX GPUs

    Then having that SLI on a desktop board, you actually have 4 GPUs (2 x 2GPU)

    the same will probably happen when the mobile 8800M comes out, they will fit two onto a single desktop videocard and then SLI it to make a quad 8800 GPUs into one system.

    thats going to be amazing. :)

    Yeah, but that in a notebook is only going to happen if you strap an lcd monitor to an ATX case.
