    What is the most powerful Graphics card you can find on a 16:9 laptop, the only ones I find are entertainment laptops. Is there a gaming 16:9 laptop?

    The 9700M GT in the Acer Aspire 8930G is the only one I can think of off the top of my head.

    Merhaba Sahin,

    I think the G50 series come with the DDR2 slots which means you can use 4GB DDR2-800 RAMs as the best option right now...
