with how hot the 7200rmp in here is, and how hot desktop 10krpm HDDs ive worked with are, id say a 10krpm 2.5" harddrive would be a fire hazard... i have heard fairly solid info on 100gb notebook drives in 5400/7200 RPM varieties, which would suit me fine. another thought I have no dobut that the first generation of pci express clevo (sager, eurocom, whatever) will be P4 based, given the currently available parts. i only hope that it will support Northwoods, as anything, including a xeon, is better than a prescott in a notebook .i'll be pleasntly surprised if im wrong, that via chipset for athalon 64 is sampling now, but no pentium-m+pci-express chipset for another 6+ months. oh well, not planning to upgrade for at least another year.

You should see Stephen Frears "Dirty Pretty Things" unless you prefer to read up on the issue but suffice to say that organ trafficking not a laughable affair for those involved. Of course it goes unperceived to most of us middle-class westerners whose biggest worry is what to choose as the next gfx card. Count yourselves lucky that you were not born in to a world of pain...

100 GB 7200 rpm!?!?! Sounds like a winner to me!

Ya, if 10K is not available, 7200RPM will be the winner no doubt. You can expect it by Q4, 2004. Link

I think you are refering to the Savvio from seagate. While it is a 2.5" drive, it isn't intended as a notebook drive. Its for high density storage and sports a SCSI interface, not IDE. Capacities will be 36GB and 72GB.

I'm holding off on the whole laptop thing until I see some swappable graphics via pci-e. Bought an Athlon xp 2800+ and a geforce 6800 to tide me over (note that the geforce 6800 replaced a TNT2 model 64....slightly different worlds of performance).

I know the feeling.. my 6800 replaced a geforce2 64mb..the performance of this card is outstanding..if the Nvidia N41 for PCIE is anything like this card i'll be going with Nvidia over ATI.. besides I love Nvidias drivers better...at this point though i'll take either heh..

Ok

OK, should i buy a 3790 from sager, or should i wait for the PCI-E notebooks? And is it going to be WAY more expensive than what i would pay for with the 3790?

Hypersonic will have the MR9800 available in their AMD64 Clevo design notebook this fall. They said the 3700+ is now shipping and their AX7 will get a minor redesign to house the MR9800. The guy also told me that companies like Sager are lieing to us about the R&D and major redisign. He said the design change is quite minute and he finds it strange that other companies are calling MR9800 old technology, when that is the newest technology available for AMD64 until mid-2005. The P4 systems will get PCI-E.

Very interesting info.

If Fall means October, I expect this model will be out around the same time the new PCI-E P4 models are coming out and everyone will be able to compare the pros and cons and performance of the various new machines.

I'm surprised he said PCI-E won't be available until mid-2005, since it will be in desktops by the end of this year. I would expect it to start becoming available in A64 DTRs in early 2005 at the latest.

Actually the PCI-E models for desktops are already out, but I guess notebooks are a little laggy on this. I hope Fall means Sept and not October.

We're talking about A64, which are not.

Let's take a look @ desktop GPUs for a sec, 9800 technology was released about a year ago and the latest PCI-E GPU (*cough* X800) is being released... hmmmm.... NOW.

You can get the 9800 in a laptop starting anytime now and you can get a version of one of the latest PCI-E GPUs in one possibly within 2 months AND be user upgradeable. Should Sager focus on a 9800 based system that could possibly delay their PCI-E system R&D? um, no-> that's a no brainer... for most.

The 3700 DTR is not yet available no matter what anyone tells you. If it was available, who do you know that has one? Show me one place that has it in stock, you can order it with overnight shipping and get it tomorrow! I don't mean in a laptop alone, how about the CPU by itself? Keep in mind there are different versions of the 3700 and the DTR is what we're focusing on. Once it IS available and TESTED, it will likely be available immediately after being cleared for takeoff. Sager often puts new options up that are no more than a week or two from physically shipping so they have a more solid date, quantity avail, and pricing to give the best they can. It's not uncommon for other places to take over a month to ship out a notebook. Some of these companies will often put up new options as soon as they hear about them becoming available. They use the month+ float time to get them in and tested allowing people to order during that process. This is much more risky due to possible delays and changes. AGAIN, there ARE different versions of the 3700.

MAN J4ever you have been one annoying troll since the start, I have contacted sager regarding AMD 3700+ guess what I was told? The official release was just this week, it is going to take another week before their suppliers can get the released retail chips to them for final testing, and it has only been tested with sample chips. So they will not release it until it has been tested with an official released chip. This sounds reasonable to me.



I called Hypersonic after I got off the phone with sager just to confirm what you’re spewing about, guess what I was told?



they have no idea when a MR9800 will be ready maybe sometime in the fall because they are also working with some Other ODM other then Clevo regarding it and chances of Clevo releasing one is low close to none.



It is also known fact that MR9800 takes a lot more power and it isn't Pin to Pin base on all the review / released information on review sites. Tell me how can that not require more then a minor redesign?
