ramificatio is a n00b, but everyone loves n00bs!
GeForce 7950 GX2 Single card w/ multi GPU SLI is here!

This is all we need for the Sager 9750! I hope they (Clevo) can do it... I have my doubts though to power and thermal requirements, but somewhere along the line perhaps with a die shrink it will become possible?

Dual Core AMD FX60 and Multi GPU SLI would make the Sager 9750 a great value! Should become lower priced as AMD is switching to Socket AM2 and DDR2, not to speak of all the pure SLI notebooks out now... I sense the value Sager 4750 once brought to the table.

lol, the words "never gunna happen" come to mind. The 7800 dual core on a single card had glitches and setup problems though. Also the Quad sli posibilities for it were disapointing.

While its a fun thought, Laptops arent really viable for this

Why not? What's stopping them from doing it?

The heat output and power requirements of that card are huge. It'll never work properly in a laptop.

I agree that we probably won't see the 7950 coupled with a desktop CPU like the 4800 or Conroe, but it seems like it would work in with a mobile CPU like in the Sager 5950. The 7950, which are 90nm GPUs, use less power than the 7800s in the 5950, which are 110nm GPUs. And the 9750 outperforms two 7800 GTXs in SLI.

Board layout might be tricky though. The 7950 is not two chips on a single card but, rather, two cards 'welded' together to use a single PCIe slot.

Ok, and yea i didn't exactly mean to put that exact desktop card into a notebook, I was more thinking in the lines of the idea to make a notebook version of a single card SLI, if any notebook could take it it would be the Sager 9750. Well thinking about it SLI is kinda over rated, like you said the Sager 9750 outperforms two 7800gtx SLI anyway... just a thought though!
