    I think the 7900GS would be the better card. Refer to the GPU guide for more information.

    7900 GS is better. It is much cooler, very good overclockable (good word?) and it is present in cheap models.
    X1900 is also very powerful but it isnt cooler and not overclockable and it is only present in expensive notebooks (Alienware, F&S is an exception I guess).
