    Clevo has a love affair with Nvidia. Short answer: No.

    As ettornio stated at this time there are no plans for an ATI offering in the D900F.

    Looks like Alienware got pretty much the exclusive on the DDR5 4870's

    might have to wait for the 300XXX vs the 5870 before doing anything else then

    Eurocom offers a GDDR3 4870 option for the W870C... so I guess you should be able to install some ATI card inside the D900F. I dunno if anyone has tried something similar, though.

    in that case, I am wondering who are the folks that developed the bios to enable the 4870 to run on the w870c ???

    was it clevo or sager ???

    or eurocom ???

    :eek:

    It might be listed as an option, but go ahead and try and order it.

    I bet you never get it.....

    lol.. Yeah they did the same thing with the Q9xxx cpus in the old M860TU revision that didn't support it. I never heard of someone getting it..

    But it might be true. We will know if someone tries to buy it.

    Tis a real shame really, personally, its not the speed Im interested in, but the features..PCM HDMI Audio for one (basically it works, and works very well, unlike the Nvidia version which is hit and miss, and dependant on your audio chip/motherboard)
