    I am considering the CX with upgradeable GPU to 8700GT, but I want a link or something showing that I WILL be able to upgrade the 8600GT to the 8700 and, if so, how much does it run?

    I'm sure a great-dane lover can't be that bad :p

    The 8700GT is not available for the C90S (CX) yet, but its supposed to be available later on. I would assume the card will cost $350-$400, so thats an upgrade cost of $100-150 over the 8600GT.

    >.> I'd like to know how they can pull that off? There are several reports of people having over heating problems with the c90s with ddr3 8600m gt and gentech already said the ddr3 model required a bigger power supply. >.> there is even a thread of people posting case mods for the c90s.
