    sorry man but the best gpu you can get in a 15.4" is a 7600/x1600 or soon to be 7700/x1700. Its due to heat constriants. It would be more like a mocrowave if it had a 7800gtx in a chassis that small.

    You will have to look at a 17"dtr for that kind of GPU performance

    Yeah, there is nothing bigger than 7600/x1600 in a 15.4" form factor. Even if there were to ever be a 15.4" w/ 7800 it would be a severely underclocked Go7800, and by then you would probably be better off with a 7700. Heat and size just make it too hard. And by the time you go up to 17", you might as well get a 7900GS... it's more powerful, uses less power, and generates less heat.
