anyone know how the mobile radeon 9700 compares to the mobile 9800? are they very similiar or is the 9800 THAT much faster? i recently just ordered a laptop w/ the mobility 9700 and now ati released the mobility 9800 -_-.... yes quite depressing...
 
sigh...
do u guys think the manufacturer can upgrade it for me then? mine laptop doesn't come w/ the do it yourself upgrade option like the alienwares have, so my only option would be to have the manufacturer change it for me
 
BTW the mobile 9800 is actually a x800 not a 9800, so the gap is huge,but dell has right to the 9800 mobile for the first 4 weks it is out, so the only way to get a mobile 9800 right now is through dell
 
since you're looking for a m9800, i'm assuming you have either a 9100 or xps dell.

both the 9100 and the xps can be user upgraded to a 9800. however, it costs $400 for the card and the resale value of your current 9700 is almost ziltch.
 
i didn't buy a name brand laptop, but my question is do you think the manufacturer can replace my mobility 9700 with the 9800?
 
where did u get it from, you'll be able to buy them off ebay soon, but other then that only dells have them now
 
why did the m9700 have only 4 pipes? And if the 9800 is really a x800 why doesn't it have 12 or 16 pipes?
