Nice, DX10 on notebooks. About time :)

Yeah, funny that AMD hasnt.

half of those notebook manufacturers i havent heard of...

In my case more than half :eek:

A lot of them are very high spec laptop maufacturers. That's why you haven't heard of them. Also some of them are only dedicated to one country. Eg Rock, Plaisio etc.

You tryin to say I am poor?....cause I'm not :p

:laugh: No just that you wouldn't have heard of them unless you're very into Laptops (Laptop fanboy here!). Some of these brands make some seriously fast beasts.

Oh and for the record, I am poor, :D

Would these be sold seperately?

I wanna upgrade my bro's 6800 Go :p.

Most likely, laptops are being fitted with MXM slots more often now, and so upgrading a laptop has become an awful lot simpler, as long as you can source an MXM card (bloody difficult, without having to buy in bulk, or going to Ebay and risking it)
Also, depends on the format, there's MXM1, 2 and 3, all of different sizes, and will fit different cards, and have differing power ratings (may be wrong there, but just a guess mostly)
