    Not possible. Too small to accommodate size and heat. Best GPU is 8600m GT.

    Thanks. :\

    How well does the 8600 run MMO's such as WoW, Eve, etc? I dont play high end gpu intensive games, but have heard poor reviews of the 8xxx series compared to the 7950.

    wow will fly maxed out no problem. I think poor reviews not the case, there just hasnt been anything as fast since the 7950... 8800m will be out in a few months. But for wow and other games you have nothing to worry about.

    if they make an 8800gs with a very low power consumption then yes it could technically go into a 15.4 inch...dont hold your breath tho
