GeForce 8800 GTX (M1730) available???

Hi.

 

Looking at US Dell website for parts, I can find the pair of SLI GeForce 8800 GTX available for M1730, but why its not available on Canadian Dell website???   Does this mean we can't get this upgrade in Canada???

 

Thanks 

 

Andre.

    Hm. I've looked at the Dell Canada site for the 1730, and it does say:

     

    NVIDIA® SLI™ Dual GeForce® 8800M GTX with 1GB GDDR3 Memory [Included in Price]
    Dell Recommended

     

     

    So it *IS* available. If, however, you mean upgrading your current 1730 from older cards to them, I don't believe this option is available yet. My neighbour wanted to do the same and was told when he first purchased that he could - but they still will not do it for him.

    Eambo.

     

    Please direct me where you have seen that. Yes I want to upgrade from my present M1730. I can do that myself.

     

    The problem is strange. If I go on US Dell parts, I enter my service TAG and I can see the video cards.

    But if I go on Canadian Dell parts and do the same, I get an error message SERVICE TAG NOT FOUND ??? My computer is built in english, maybe its the problem ? Maybe the Canadian service TAG is different ?

     

    If I go there, nothing about the video cards.

    Do you have something else to suggest ?

     

    Thanks.

    Ah, sorry. I seen it in the customise a new 1730 option, not to upgrade. As I said my neighbour had an issue getting his upgraded even when he called,  I dunno if they're holding off or what =-/
