    Didnt know if any one else had goton ahold of this tid bit of news but origin pc's has the nvidia gtx 460m as an option as single/sli.
    Not sure what the performance is on the 460m but alot of people have been telling me that they are good cards for alot less dough then the 480m cards. I really like this system, wish I could get my hands on one to give me an idea what the build quality is like. Iv been told though that clevo has one of the best builds of laptops then any other brand so thats reasuring. You can spec this peticular build out at origin pc's.

    I didnt know if any of the other resellers had the 460m was my point yet, but they must already? The last I had heared the 480m was the only option and people were wondering why the 460/470m hadn't arived yet. I personally like avadirect/xoticpc, makes no difference really.

    Yeah, we have discussed this a little bit. It seems like there are about 3 resellers offering it atm, but quite a few resellers have said it's not yet released for the X7200. (I know Multicom (Norway), Eurocom (Canada) and OriginPC's (US) are offering it).

    I don't really think either 460M or 480M is worth it though, considering 470M is right around the corner, hopefully... :p

    It's possible that 460M is still unavailable for x7200 and these resellers are trying to trick you into pre-ordering from them. You might end up waiting way too long.
    And yes, 470M is not too far away, but if it isn't released by 12th of October, -we might start longing for another card - 6870 :)

    I still don't believe we will see the mobil version (even the desktop version) of 6870 in October, or this year for that matter, but if we do see it this will be a smart move by ATI. Nvidia will have to bring something to the table ^^,

    I didn't say it would be released in October ;)
    More likely we'll get solid benches from Bart PRO/XT and since M6870 will be a downclocked version of one of these, - we'll know the performance range ;)
    IMO, M6870 will be around HD5850+much better tessellation @stock clocks and around HD5870 when OC'ed.(huge IMHO) :)

    For people that are waiting for 470M, they MIGHT have an advantage because it's possible that Clevo will do a small revision before next year or early January.
