    new GPU? hmmm... either FX3600M (or 3700M), or 9800M-GTS... don't think the 9800M-GTX would fit in terms of heat etc.

    I guess the XPS M1730 isn't going to die anytime soon since they mentioned the support for a new GPU :p

    Hoo boy... now, should I consider bumping up to the 8800M GTX now, still? Decisions, decisions... looks like they're not ready to retire the 1730 anytime soon, at any rate. This is exciting news.
