HD4870 3.0 Type B card in stock.

March 10th 2010

Modules are now in stock. We offer these cards as simple COTS products for end users and proffesionals alike but also as customisable items. For high volume projects we can offer customisation ranging from providing additional documentation, allowing BOM changes, making changes to layout and customising the vBios.

Obviously, this comes at a price. Once you stray from the COTS path you enter the world of NRE charges.

Those with a Type B notebook or a Type A notebook with some extra space, contact us!

Type II HD4650 1GB DDR2

March 10th 2010

In stock! We got into some sourcing issues after receiving samples but all that's behind us now. These cards offer slackjaw performance jumps for a large amount of Type II notebooks out there, including Acer, Alienware, Fujitsu,... Some options have been explored yet (like the Uniwill family), keep your eyes peeled on the table for updates on your specific notebook.

If waiting around is a bit too passive for you, contact us!

Alienware m15x upgraded to GTX280

November 10th 2009

I little while back, we introduced a new service that allows some of our readers to send in their notebook for us to check what their replacement or upgrade options are. Martin decided to take us up on that offer so now we have an m15x to play with. Featuring a nice Type HE slot, the motherboard is designed to handle the highest performance cards available so we did just that: plug the GTX280.

Last week, Martin's notebook was basically a very expensive paper weight gathering dust. This week, it's probably the fastest 15,4" notebook on the planet.

The procedure and "Buy Now" links can be found here.

Type II HD4570 512MB DDR2

February 7th 2010

Not everybody is looking for the latest or at least not the greatest GPU on the plante. Some people are looking for a graphics card to replace their own malfuntioning hardware. At that point, price becomes an important factor. For those people, we are now stocking the HD4570. While it will still beat a lot of it's predecessors on the "battlefield" it's main strength is in it's low price tag.

We've already established the card to be compatible with early Amilo's and some Alienware notebook and expect it to do a good job in Acer MXM enabled machines, MSI MXM notebooks and so on. If you are interested in lending a hand with establishing a compatibility list, check this.

These cards will also be in our CEBIT backpack, let us know if you want to organise a meeting and quick swap!

Type HE GTX260 1GB GDDR3 cards in store

March 10th 2010

While slightly less impressive than the GTX280, the price difference is impressive as well... Sporting a reduced thermal footprint over the GTX280, thid card may actually be a better choice for thermally challenged platforms such as the m15x. While the card is Type HE, this does not exclude Type III machines per se as explained here.

keep your eyes peeled on the table for updates on your specific notebook.

First MXM 3.0 cards in store

November 13th 2009

The new 3.0 GTS 160M cards probably make little sense for end users, given that they are not compatible with previous revisions of the specification. And if you bought a 3.0 with a GTS 130M or so you should be spanked for such a poor choice.

But they make perfect sense for our system designers and integrators that are looking to start with the future proof version of the spec. Limited samples are available and we are ready to fill volume orders. This card and it's vendor has been selected because we expect it to be available for a long time.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you need further information.
