    I'm still seeing the same talk about Crossfire support on the AMD models but the only dv7 models showing up on HP.com are spec'ed with an Intel CPU and a single Mobility HD5650.


    Might be the AMD models get a crossfire option but most likely it's just a Hybrid Crossfire between the IGP and discrete GPU.

    I think the same...I don't see the DV7 getting a Xfire config...that would make the laptop way expensive...

    if the chassis is set up for it, and extra video card shouldn't be too much anywhere from a 200-400 difference.

    I'd pay the extra...it would still be cheaper than other Intel-based Crossfire machines.


    If it means anything (and just to stir the pot a bit) the M880G spec page on AMD.com doesn't list support for Hybrid Graphics like the M780G spec page does.
