    does the d900f do SLI, i was looking at a malibal build and under the notebook says d900f, i'm hearing conflicting reports, some say it can't be done others say there was a mod, interested to know.

    Hi, the D900F can only hold a single GPU. Where does it say it holds Dual GPU on our site? You might be looking at the old X7200 page.

    i didnt mean on your site, i was reading on these boards and some people claimed they manged to get SLI working or something confirming it would work.

    is was referring to that quick comment, i mean if it's possible some how via mod that would be great, however i'm unaware of the motherboard so if there's no physically no PCI-E slot obviously it wont work.

    :eek: I was always under the impression that it had 2 MXM 3.0 slots just like the d901c but 3.0. I guess I don't know.

    The D9XXC did have dual GPUs, the D9XXF only holds a single GPU.

    No support for 485M in D900F, not yet... A employee of clevo germany wrote me: "Bis jetzt noch keine Update für 485M, ich glaube kommt aber." :confused: and in english: "So far no update for 485m, but I believe it´s coming." :D

    The D900F has been discontinued. The X7200 is the replacement model.

    would the d900f be able to sustain the tdp of the 485m, no battery change would be needed right.

    i got a d900f from my friend coming this week, going to put a 980x in there, it would work correct? besides it would be much faster then desktop sandy bridge at the moment, wonder what power supply modification i'd need to buy and would like to get a 485m as well... hmm.

    i think 485m may work if use the 480m heatsink + install modded inf driver
    just like d900c can use single gtx280m...
