Does the company have any reputations anyways? I'm very suprised there's no US company carrying the card if they are for real.

lol did you read the email they sent me? It's a joke. they don't have a thing. You really think some no name company has a special deal for the most anticipated mobile hardware release of the year?

not to mentioned the badly PS'ed photo (showing a desktop card) they sent.

Yah, I get what you mean, but I thought it just may be true since I did see no name chinese companies making desktop replacements way before there was XPS gen 1. I had the doubts since it seems like the owner of the company sounds like chinese (last name Li)

you could probably get it as a desktop card but the laptop equivalent might be a few months off at the least.

That photo you got SolApathy is the same one Sager uses to advertise the 9260 on their website. http://www.sagernotebook.com/pages/go_np9260.html

I think Pioneer Computers is feeding you a line of BS.

Oh I know they are lol, reference my post #22.

did you also notice this difference between your pic & the one they provided? Their pic is missing the DVI port lol.

OMFG!!! That NP9260 is my next computer if Sager decides to put the 8800's in them. That will be a super powerhouse........

By the time I'm ready to buy a new machine it will probably be another year but at this point I'm definitely leaning toward one of them nice Sagers. Especially given my recent disillusionment with Dell re:2 and 3 prong power adapters.

As far as 8800's in SLI, I think they can pull it off but not by using watered down ones, at least at first. Basically an 8800 more or less by name only in reference to the powerhouse that is the 8800GTX/GTS desktop variants. Then again, it might be able to pull in some pretty high numbers assuming the new die shrink goes through in time for nvidia. Then who knows what they can do. I remember when the first XPS Gen 1 was released there was an article saying how ludicrous it would be to have SLI in a laptop, and that it wouldn't happen. But it did, granted it took a little while, but it did.

nVidia does not produce there own chips, therefore nVidia will not be going through any die shrink. nVidia can already get 65nm chips, for about 3x the cost of a 90nm.

The amount of gullibility displayed in this thread saddens me.

Nvidia doesn't sell their mainstream graphics cards directly, but they still are behind making the new tech and updating it. It's up to resellers to do the actual rebranding/extras (new cooling system, extra warranty, overclocking, etc.) with the actual reference design that nvidia sends them for the gpu. So I'm fairly certain that they'd be responsible for moving down to a smaller die shrink. As far as I know, ASUS, MSI, EVGA, etc don't actually do die shrinks for gpus. At best they might order a different kind of memory, but other than that I haven't heard of them doing die shrinks. I could be wrong though. Just going off of what I know.

Thats not what i was talking about. Im talking specifically about the GPU, the chip that does all the work. nVidia does not mass produce these GPUs. Yes they design and engineer it, but they do not produce the actual wafers. GPUs are much harder to shrink than CPUs, as ATI found out the hardway, which is why a 65nm GPU is so much more expensive than a 90nm GPU. You get more chips per wafer, but yields are not as high. You are correct in that manufacturers dont do die shrinks, etc, althought i believe you are right, they can use whatever memory they want, they get the reference design and can tweak it as they wish. As for a G80 based GO, i dont think we will be seeing them, and the enthusiast 8800 we might be seeing this summer...i dont think its going to be a whole lot more powerful than the 7950 GTX, at least not as much of a drastic increase as the desktop versions. TSMC is the name of the supplier. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TSMC "Although TSMC offers a variety of wafer product-lines (high-voltage, mixed-signal, analog), TSMC is best known for its logic product-line. Various fabless high-tech companies such as ATI, Broadcom, Conexant, Marvell, NVIDIA, and VIA are customers of TSMC."
