At least your encouraging me;)
I hate to burst your bubble but that laptop will never exist ever. Why? Because AMD won't make a mobile version of the FX its their high-end desktop chip. Thats like saying i can't wait for the mobile EE chip ain't gonna happen. The fastest A64 chip that will make it into laptops will be something based on the current A64w/ 1mb L2 cache. That said a Ati and nvidia never make mobile versions of high-end graphics chips either.(ie no mobile 8500,9700,9800). They do it with mid end cards like 7500,9000,9600. So maybe by june or whatever date you chose there might be some new mobile graphics card from ati or nvidia based on their new mid-end chips. :( Sorry dude thats just the way it is.Quote:

How do you know all this? Do you work for ATi and AMD? Never say never my friend! It could happen:) But mobile A64's will be out in 1 maybe two months tops o by June there won't be anything new? I think there'd be some kind of socket 939 chips in a laptop eventually.
its mostly just common sense. i doubt socket 939 will ever have a mobile version of any sort. i could be wrong but i would doubt it. the mobile athlon 64 3000+ already exists ;) . I think they are just gonna go with 754 for mobile. AFAIK AMD doesn't have huge mobile plans in the near future. People want a laptop thats mobile and has some battery life. Thats why they choose a P-M over say a P4C. And i guarentee you there will never be a mobile version of the 9800 series the r300 core is way to power hungry and produces far to much heat thats why the r350/60(ie 9600) makes such a good mobile card. I don't pretend to know everything and i could be wrong but there out to make money not the most "uberest" laptop.
True, but the "uberest" laptop tends to bring in money. The voodoo M:460's, the "uberest" laptos out right now are sold out until 2004 I believe, if they make $1000 each one then they just made a few million I think;) You're probably correct about the new laptop cards, but what are they going to do then? Just leave it where it is? I think socket 939 might make it. It does look like socket 754 is the choice for now though. However your quote about the A64 mobile being out is untrue, or misinformation. In fact the ones out currently, such as in voodoo's M:855, are "Desktop Replacement" A64's. It's odd but that's what anandtech said in their review. They call them DTR A64's and it's confusing but appearantly there are true A64-M's coming soon that will have the power of the A64 (slightly less probably) and be able to go into thin and light laptops like the P-M's. So I guess that's the future for now, who knows what'll be out next year? Maybe a mobile r4** card and socket 939 or possibly a fast socket 754, either way, unless Intel gives me some sweet stuff, I'll be going AMD and ATi for laptops as well as desktops:)
