    8800m gtx is based on the desktop 8800gt and it is designed for use in laptops.

    It is the best single (or dual) gpu for any laptop.

    notebook gpus are about 20% slower than their desktop counterparts

    hope you're not buying a new notebook just to play crysis... it's not that great.

    An 8800m GTX is the most powerful laptop video card.
    An 8800 GTX is the most powerful desktop video card.

    The inclusion of the 'm' means 'mobile'

    Also, an 8800m GTX will perform like an 8800 GTS (Desktop).

    Actually i think you'll find that the 8800 Ultra is more powerful.

    AHH yes, but play that 8800 ultra in class. Crysis in intellectual property rights law is fantastic! :)

    Ultra is an 8800GTX overclocked one, so yeah the 8800GTX is the fastest out there :)
