You're so caught up in the hype.
Not many DX10 games are out right now
Name ONE that is out right now that I can go get it and play it so I can give a review on the sheer awesomeness that is DX-10.
but in 2 years, they will all be DX10
Are you upper management of Blizzard or something? Why would a game manufacturer
exclusively cater to a micro cross section of the gaming community? Most of the time they actually want to make money. They might as well design for Linux, and really NOT MAKE MONEY if that is the case.
You're acting like DX-10 games won't play on a DX-9c machines, which simply isn't true. They will.
Vista will have service packs, etc...
No big service packs for MS VISTA
Service Pack 1 for VISTA may come in October/November.
It's article after article of conjecture, that is my point, they'll tell you
whatever you want to hear! If Eurocom gets 8800's, WE will have 8800's,
everyone will!!! But you DO NOT see DELL with them, and THEY are going to be the first ones to have them!
If you think this is
weeks away, you're sadly mistaken.
Unless you change your laptop every 6 months, I believe its useful to be future-proof, even if it means a few more weeks of waiting.
Honestly, THERE IS NO WAY TO FUTURE PROOF A NOTEBOOK. You can try, and Killer Notebooks tries
very hard to stretch as much as they can out for their customers, but it simply is NOT POSSIBLE to buy a notebook today and think that in 2 years you are going to be still on top of the heap. It isn't going to happen. Think of all the BS you were force fed 2 years ago, and that if you had a Pentium M 2.16 and 2GB of DDR-333 you would be set for life!
The Executioner SR should take the 8800 cards. The GPU interface is being changed to nVidia's MXM IV module.
See, no where in there am I guarantying something that is unknowable like SO MANY OF THESE GUYS. I think honesty is the best policy in business.
I know WE will have x7800
unlocked CPU's... I know that. Does Eurocom allow their customers to upgrade components to "future proof" their notebook along the way? Because as people contacted us
about buying 7900 class GPU's for their older systems from OTHER manufacturers, we told them we could get them from OUR existing customers, and ALL EXISTING K|N customers that wanted to upgrade their 7900's were able to for the cost of the difference between a 7900 and 7950 n (about $100). I would like to hear of ANY other company doing that.
Man, you guys have to realize that who you buy from determines what level of service and support you will get in the future and where the bar will be set in this...
YOUR gaming industry!
