    You will not get a 7900GTX into a 14" notebook. If you want a 7900GTX, you'll have to go to 17". Anything smaller is too small for the extra fan and heatsink components for the 7900GTX. Not to mention it would burn a 14" up.

    I did not know that a certain requirement is needed for the 7900GS or GTX. I would not mind a 17 inch but that is really too big. What is a good 15-15 inch graphics I should look for ? ATI or Nvdia. I have both in regular size PCs but hate lugging a brick like PC... to deal with it. Opinions on this?
