Translated from Chinese...google translation that is!

Although ncVidia issue tabletop version Geforce 7800GTX graph chip soon, but the motion edition Geforce7 graph chip concrete model specification already determined.

The motion version Geforce 7 graphs chips and the G70 tabletop version equally also has three kind of models: Geforce 7200Go (the G74M 8 pipelines), Geforce 7600Go (the G73M 12 pipelines) and Geforce 7800Go (G71M, 16 pipelines), three section chips all use MXM insert the card design, this omitted for the notebook computer merchant must completely re- design the main engine board only then can install motion version Geforce the 7go series graph chip the trouble.

In addition according to what is stated Geforce 7800go and Geforce 7600go all supports SLI, but Geforce 7200Go does not support SLI.

I agree, the XPS2 is going to be Dell's 7800 Go platform. Cool, I get to do an upgrade later...

T'would be awesome if we could upgrade our cards in the near future. Now, does anyone know why, when I update my BIOS, I can't delete the bios exe file on the desktop? I really don't want it to be there because I am sort of an organization freak, so does anyone know how to get rid of it?
