Anyone has received the system already?

If I'm not wrong this will be the first system w/X600 then we can compare it with MR9800.

I have one ordered...should arrive early next week.....Just FYI, the X600 mobility is based on the same core as the MR9700........it's basically a PCI Express version of the MR9700....so i can tell you right now, the MR9800 outperforms the X600....the X800 mobility (whenever it shows up in a laptop), will be the one that will be on par if not better than the MR9800 (they both use the same tech. but the X800 is PCI-E based).

Huummmmm... OK,even with your coments I think X600 will outperform MR9700, maybe not 9800, but how far from it?
Please review your system a.s.a.p., buddy.
And, yes, congratz on your purchase.

I will benchmark and review it as soon as I get it.
I do think it will outperform the MR9700....but only narrowly. (like I said, it is the same graphics chip/tech, just PCI-E interface instead of AGP....and there is very little performance gain going to PCI-E on that chip).
It does have 256MB of video memory (this X600)...so if anything that will help it outperform a 128MB MR9700....but the MR9800 is based off of the X800 desktop GPU core......so i still think the X600 will be far from the MR9800 performance-wise.
