NVidia NV17M Mobile GPU Preview

Mathew Solnik writes: "A year ago nVidia set the laptop world on fire with the release of the GeForce2 Go mobile graphics chipset. Today they push the envelope with the release of the NV17M mobile graphics chipset. Offering unmatched performance in 3D gaming applications, the NV17M promises to put nVidia at the forefront of high end graphics solutions for mobile systems. This GPU is much faster then the Geforce2 Go and is more or less the Geforce3 for laptops. Check out AMDZone for the preview." Pretty incredible how powerful laptops are, even given their lag behind desktop performance. This is far more powerful than any video card I've ever owned.

    Today my Dell Inspiron 8100 came in. PIII 1GHz-M, 384M memory, 30G disk, 8X DVD, 15.1" Super XGA+ screen that does 1440x1050, and a 32M DDR GeForce 2 Go.

    I thought I was king of the world. So I throw it on my LAN and go to slashdot...

    ... to see the upcoming GeForce3 Go be announced.

    Noooooooooooooooooooooo!!! It's not fair! ;*(
