    I've heard of people getting or seeing mobile 7900GTXs on eBay, but I can't find any by themselves. Are there online stores that sell mobile graphics cards? I would eventually like to replace my 7800GO with a 7900GTX, but I can't find them for sale anywhere.

    You may be able to order it as a spare part from dell.

    Getting a 7900GTX for under 1k (that's the price Dell has on them now) is going to take a few month wait. Balthazar (or something like that) has dual pipe 7900gs's on sale on this board and on NBF.

    Not quite as good as a GTX, but you could probably buy it and keep it for a while and sell it for 50-75 less than you paid for it and basically consider it a rental.
