    Is it possible to SLI another 9800m GT on the NP5796 motherboard?

    Is it even possible to buy mobile graphics cards?

    Well, you can upgrade the HDD, CPU, and even the GPU in same cases, but you cannot "add" another video card to a notebook that doesn't support SLI in first place.

    You can get mobile GPU's from the same source you purchased your machine. (For Sager machines you can go to Sager or most Sager resellers) Keep in mind that you can change the GPU to what GPU's are currently offered for that model.
