damn i want that notebook there some sweet specs, better than a lot of peoples desktops in here :eek: look to pay around $4000 i would imagine :wtf:

btw: are the mobile processors compatible with lga775?

Nope, I believe they're S479. Or at least the Pentium Ms were.
Nice spec n that testing laptop, apart from the HDD... yeah, you have 200GB, but 4200RPM? Pfft... it'd take twice as long for HL2 to load... and three times as long for STALKER to preload objects...
Still, I wonder how a laptop would handle the heat generated by that chip, espec. when overclocking, multiplier or FSB. I think it's be better on a S479 desktop motherboard, as a fast mATX gaming system.

And they had to ruin it with an 8600...

Is the 8800 mobile even around? I heard rumours, and I also heard that Nvidia canned it due to the 8800 being so power hungry and running so damned hot.
I guess if that's the case, the 8600 or 8700 cards dont seem like such a bad compromise to me.
Could be worse, could be running an X1600 mobile, heheh. (Oh noes! The MBP crowd attacks!)

I think the Core Duo (Yonah Core) is the same socket???? Not sure If it is then It maybe possible to upgrade my lappy

the 8600gs is the best mobile card available right now, if the ruined anything on its the hard drive. need at least the 7200rpm. shoot id want mine to be loud with that 7200rpm so i can show off in class and make more noise then my professors lol

and i wouldnt o/c it cause you lose battery life and thats actually important when you talk about notebooks. but damn 2.6ghz dual core laptop would be amazing

I guess Intel SpeedStep is well implemented to stop it running 2.6 100% of the time... I think the 1.6GHz Core Duo goes down to something low, like 800MHz when it's not loaded, and it really cuts down heat and improves battery life above 2.5Hrs.
I know someone with a Core Duo, the laptop has a 945GM chipset IIRC. It has an upgrade path to a Core 2 Duo, so I'd guess this is a possibility for you, but it might need to be used on the new 965 chipset.
Frankly, it costs too much to be completely worth it. Desktop CPUs are much cheaper, and, unless you use a laptop as a primary PC, then a lower end 1.6GHz Core 2 Duo should be enough for most.
This is just basically for true desktop replacement laptops, and gaming laptops, maybe for people that need a mobile workstation. If coupled with a mobile Quadro of FireGL.

ruin ? i dont know about the mobile version but the desktop 8600gts is as good as your x1950gt and oc's like hell, i ran lost planet demo on med/high settings at 45fps and it looked sweet as a nut

Guys, check the news post right above this one on the front page...

Sweet speed and love the unlocked multi but Im sure battery life on these bad boys are like 1 hour tops.

Nvidia should sue intel for using 7800 in the name of this proc
