    I am thinking If I can swap the AMD Nforce4 MOBO from this lappy with a m9750 mobo I believe that the Dual Go7900GS 512 can output more performance with a C2D processor cuz I already have a C2D T7500 and 2GB of DDR2 Mem .
    Do you guys see this swap is possible or its just a waste of time and money?

    Wait, what exactly are you trying to say? (It's kinda hard to interpret moon language)

    Q:a) You want to put a m9750 mobo in a m9700 chassis?
    Q:b) You want to install two 7900GS's in an m9750?
    Q:c) You want to put an Intel Processor in an AMD slot?

    A:a) No one has ever done it before - I'd like to know where you're getting a loose m9750 mobo from and it's highly probable that it's more trouble than its worth.
    A:b) I'm guessing that that is possible, I'm not sure why anyone would install two cards, which in SLi can only match one 7950GTX...
    A:c) Forget it, you can't install a C2D processor into an Athlon slot. Heck, you can't even put an Athlon X2 in there, which would've made the m9700 a lot better.

    first at all I'm Sorry for my bad english
    your first guess is the right one.
    I want to put an m9750 mobo with cpu and ram into an m9700 chaisis if that is possible cuz I saw dells with the same GPU at single mode and they get over 4500 pts in 3dmark06 and some scores over 5000 pts with core 2 duo processors.
    I think these cards had more but botle necked by the current CPU.

    @Mega - Yes you should be able to install a M9750 motherboard in the M9700 because they are both the same case (I'm 90% sure). Basically you could have a M9750 in a M9700 case :)
