& also he was probbably refering to a 8800GT 'equalent' of a moblity graphics card.
just pointing out

lower clocks are to control the 'heat' primarily & the power the card chews up & spits out - also originally laptops werent for gaming. however there are a few laptops avilable tha use a full fledged ATi/Nvidia graphics cards but they can be pricey.
if all desktop replacement laptops were to ship with full flavored desktop GPU's. the laptops themelves would need to be a lot bigger to cope with the excess heat. also - that would make latops alot more expensive as extra materials are needed to make it. which would mean lesser sales over all.
if u have a powerful desktop at home - why would u want a uber powerful laptop??? personally im happy with the performance with an 8600M GT. so long as it can run guild wars then we are good for a few hours
I remember laptops that were desktop parts in a tiny shell lol. Those were bad ass. I'll take 30 mins of battery for a full desktop in a 20" laptop form factor.
if a laptop mainly consisted of desktop parts - i doubt anyone would be able to afford it - even though desktop CPUs & GPUs are cheaper - your paying for a privaledge of a laptop that can out game a desktop
also dont forget laptops are ment to be some what portable - even 'desktop replacements' whats the point of lugging over 4Kg of laptop around if your only gonna get 30mins use out of it??? its a no brainer
Mobility GPUs are improving all the time.
youve got to undertand that not everything can always be 'full steam ahead' neither does it have to. - its the way things are. its how the grand cookie crumbles...
::EDIT::
& if gaming at full rez on a laptop is all your complaining about but sorry that points redundant.
its like trying to get a Geforce Mx2 to play crysis - so what? its a graphics card aint it???
And given the 8800M GTX is based on G92 it's just the same 65nm as the 9600M GT.
BTW. 3DMark06 scores for 9600M GT are around 5.5k-ish and 8800M GTX are around 10k-ish :)
The 9600M GT gets and average of 4727 in 3Dmarks'06, which is not that great
