    I wish they had the 7900GS in their e1705 instead of the 7800 Go (or preferably both).

    I agree, I wanted to see the 7900GS in there as well. I'm looking at either a XPS M1710 with the 7900GS or the 9400 with the 7900GS. Same price, slightly different features. But yeh, I really wanted one in there.

    From what I have heard on these forums, BF2 runs like butter on the x1600, which is a lesser GPU than the 7800. They also claim
    "Call of Duty 2 is interesting because it's one of the few games touted as supporting SMP. (We will get to Quake 4 later, and we don't have results from Oblivion for this article. Without seriously reducing graphics quality, Oblivion is only playable on the M1710.)"

    Without seriously reducing the gfx quality? Who has played it with the x1600 and 7800 go?

    Edit: Their score for the 7800 go was 3866. Are you kidding me? That is less than what people are getting from their "out of the box" x1600. Most people here are getting about 5k on their 7800 go's
