Yes, so it would fit in a 9300. Motherboard is pending right now to someone however.
I just sold off the parts to my m170 because my 7800 gtx died and I didn't want to spend $300 to replace it... God I hope its not one of the cards, really bad luck for this to be announced the day after I sell everything!
My video card was fried, so I decided I would part it out rather than replace the card. Most parts sold on ebay. Motherboard and assorted heatsinks are whats left.
Motherboard for xps gen/m170 (part #F8453) in good working condition...

The 8600 gt sucks pretty bad compared to the 7900gs.

Unfortunately the 9 series is just a refresher of the 8 series. Nvidia probably should have skipped 9 series and concentrated on a mobile 10 series card as the next gen cards from both nvidia and ati are going to be a big jump in...
