nope. Actually, it's bigger According to the article, there are 2 versions: one 17" version and one 18.4" version (the one that comes with the 4870)

Yeah I figured it was big when someone said it could double as a George Foreman grill.

Goto www.ap.dell.com and spec a 1730. you now get an option for a 9800M GT SLI and a 9800M GTX SLi. and they appear to be one gig cards. so 2 gig total of video ram.

How's that for an update?
Looks like the 1730 just made itself a new crown.

I just went to dell web and there was no option to configure the 1730 with a 9800

Nevermind.. I just found it!

lol

Has anyone seen a slightly smaller like 17" form factor single 4870 or nvidia equivalent release out there

Shoot, a single desktop 512 4870 power level mobile card would be more than enough, and still be portable enough

i think dell is starting to phase out the 1730 so deals might come soon. the upgraded gpu seems a little stupid to me without a chip set upgrade, the fsb will be the bottleneck
