nVidia 460 go?

[Gibson486]

What ever happened ot teh nvidia 460go? Everyone was raving about when the Mobility 9000 came out, but I never actually saw it come out to teh market. Are they skipping it and going straight to the 4200go?

the Toshiba 5200 series comes with the 460Go.

according to NVIDIA's web site, it looks like the 460Go only comes in a discreet package, which will limit it to larger laptops. Its also possible that the power consumtion is too high to make it a viable alternative.

What is discrete packaging? If the power consuption is too high then wouldn't the 4200 be in the same boat, b/c that chip is looking high in power consumption also.

I believe they mean the video card is seperate from the board, not integrated. Like on certain dells you can replace the video card with the nvidia solution, like on a real computer.
