    I want to put a bigger CPU say a x9100 or a T9900 and maybe a 280GTX MXM card is the cooling good enough for that. Reason is just because. I LIKE POWER but not paying for it in the Alienware and bigger laptops..

    It will definitely support a "bigger" X9100 or T9900.

    And the most powerful card Asus has right now is the GTX 260m. And since it uses a proprietary design, you can't take a GTX 280m from another machine and insert it. Won't fit.

    Why not the T9900? Runs cooler which is good for the G5/6*series. AFAIK you can still get the T9900 of the HP site for a good price.

    You have a link to this CPU from HP because I can not find it on their website?
