Nice, should be interesting, but none of the new cool I/O stuff though (no USB3, no Robson2, no Wimax, no Displayport).
I think the GF9800MGTX will only be a slight performance boost over the GF8800MGTX, it's supposedly just a die shrink of the same design, supposedly no added SPUs.

Leave it to us Canadian's to bring you the best first. :sol:

Yeah I think it's the G92B on 55nm instead of 65nm, but still not enough info on them.

Would there be much of a benefit for the 8 gigs of ram at this time though? Seriously, I know some applications can take advantage of a lot more ram, but at that point, something else has got to be bottlenecking the computer's performance.

Well considering they are marketing it as a mobile workstation as well there are many apps that will take advantage of that amount of memory an more, from video editing to 3D modeling, to large data setting math apps (chemical modeling, geophysical modeling, economic modeling, statistical modeling, etc).

For most gamers and that, it won't be an issue where 2-4 GB is usually fine.
