    it's a rebranded 9800m-gts AFAIK. so the benchmarks should be similar.

    Your AFAIK is way off.

    GTX 260M is a reduced 55nm, higher clocked 9800M GTX.

    The GTS 160M is a 9800M GTS with the power consumption of a 9800M GS.

    I plan to overclock a little when I receive mine but that will depend on the sort of stock clock temperatures I get.

    GPU-Z is showing a GPU temp of 43 C at idle, if that helps at all. :)

    Do we know where the resellers are in regards to GPU upgrades for those of us with 8660s? I'm still debating if it's worth it but it would be nice to have options. I may contact PNB to find out their scoop.

    Pro-star (my seller) told me to call back in a couple weeks to inquire about buying an individual card. They just need some time to get the initial notebooks shipments out, then they'll have extra cards to test in the existing M860TUs which they'll then sell.

    Justin @ XoticPC is telling his customers the same thing I believe, so expect Donald and the PNB staff to say the same thing to you.

    How is their customer service? Anyone tried a return or RMA (in case something is wrong with a laptop)?
