This doesnt seem like that great for gaming… the geforce 8600 is a weaker card than the 7950 which they offered in the 1710 (which still gave stuttering performance in some of the newer games, for example supreme commander…) The rest seems to be a bit better than the 1710 though. But why cant they just use the 8800 cards for mobile use yet? Its been out for a year already and still no laptop is fitted with it…

According to someone with a service manual it will have the option for 2 x 8700M GT in SLI plus a built in physics processor.

Google “dell xps 1730″.
Click on the dell add that shows up at the top for a new surprise.

Gerard is correct it offers dual video cards with the ageia physics processor. Working for Dell I get the opportunity to play with this thing and it kicks ass. The 1730 will be replacing the 1710, side by side the 1710 doesn’t even come close.

@Doy wtf dude??? stop spamming
@all: Any idea on a new release date? (27 aug) has passed. so what’s up with the release of this baby?

I wish it came built in with a physics professor
