    What Desktop Video card is roughly the same in power as an X1700 Mobility?

    Realistically, the MR X1600 and MR X1700 will perform exactly the same at the same clock speeds since they are the same chip just produced on a different process. The equivalent performance with desktop chips will be around a X1600Pro which has now been renamed the X1300XT.

    Or maybe Radein x1700SE, which i spotted in a HP desktop.
    And the GpuReview comparisons are just a tad bit off real world performance. If you just look at the specs at their default clocks of a desktop x1800XL and a x800XT, they're basily the same with only the vertex operation being higher for the x1800XL. http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards.php?card1=411&card2=327

    I think it's something between the 7600GS and 7600GT (just a little more powerful than 7600GS though)

    I dunno. A 7300GT may be able to give the Go 7600 or Radeon Mobility X1700 a run for the money, just because of the GDDR3 on the 7300GT.

    The GDDR3 does not make a difference at low clocks.
    See the V1Jp and W3J for example.The V1Jp has DDR2 and W3J has GDDR3.The performance is equal.AFAIK the read difference shows up at higher clocks.

    A 7300Gt is a skimped 7600, like the go7600. I believe they even have the same amount of pipelines. The higher clocked 7300GTs with GDDR3 are about the same level of a go7600 or go7700.
