Well, there's your answer to where's the Go 6800 Ultra. Now the questions are, how much will it cost and will it support the upcoming Mobility X800 XT (and when)

At least there'll still be an Ultra upgrade kit for the 9860 users.

What does this mean for 9860 users? No Ultra?

Shalamar · 05-12-2005, 09:56 AM

If you read the release, Luke says that details for the 6800 Ultra upgrade kit will be released on the 17th.

Verrin · 05-12-2005, 09:56 AM

Ah. Whew. Thank you.

It means you will need to upgrade your 9860 to the 9880.

Yeah I need to get me a WUXGA and make sure it's purdy

Shalamar · 05-12-2005, 10:08 AM

Heh. Can 9860 owners upgrade to the WUXGA? No? A shame.

Sure you can, however screen upgrades from Sager have always been known to carry a hefty price tag.

Shalamar · 05-12-2005, 10:15 AM

Not suprised. Still, The price tag on the new upgrades will likely be pretty heft. I don't think I'll need to upgrade either the screen, or the vid card anytime soon.

If i understand, you must change the motherboard to upgrade to 9880 ??

deuch

devarshi84 · 05-12-2005, 10:22 AM

OK ,

I sure agree it is good news. But where is the new AMd notebook with nvidia 6800 ???? Everyone says Amd is better than intel but still no good notebooks?

why

Rotorhead · 05-12-2005, 10:33 AM

Anyone have any info on the TV Tuner card in it, I also just read in Tomshardware that hitachi finally released the 7200rpm 100gig HD's and they are about 7% faster than previous 7200rpm drives, will we be able to get those installed? Can barely wait the 6 weeks till I get home and can finally order this monster!

Depends, Sager has the option to do the revision to your current motherboard or swap it with a new one.... not sure which they will do in the case of an upgrade.
