    What is that slot on left-middle, right next to the die?

    I'm assuming CF slot, but I'm not in front of my card to look at it.

    It's nicely positioned for the M17x R2.

    Good Eyes there Katalin!
    We can use the original R2 Crossfire cables again. WooHoo!
    Awesome!

    EDIT: I hope! hmmm....Just looking at the 5870s CF connector positioning again. It seems to me that it is slightly even more higher up.



    Cheers.

    Looks like it's on target with the 6900 series crossfire port. Which means the R2 cable will work. Just may take some folding or pulling back the tape to offer some flexibility.

    7970m crossfire is going to be ridiculous.

    I wonder which game will ever tax his R2 now! Also will make his system a folding beast!!

    You know what I was thinking today, does the 7970M have sero core technology? If it does, you could see a huge increase of battery life when using the M15x. Maybe it would be possible to lock the P-State into it and get very long battery life.
