    First of all, you have to change the t9400 to p9500. But as for changing machines... it would depend on your needs. Mobility or more power. Check out the other thread comparing those two. dual 9800gts probably will destroy 9800gtx, but you have to think if the low batterylife and limited portability is worth it.

    Plus I dont know if the early Aug. will stand for the 9800m GTX
    not to mention if dose benchmarks are right theres No reason to go with the 9800M GTX.

    @sujinge9: Mostly I want it to play games on. I work 40days on and then 20days off, so when am at work I need some that is some what mobile(only in airports every couple of months), the battery life is not big deal for it will stay plug in. and will the p9500 make that much of deference?

    >.> From the link he's posting I think he wants dual cards because the 9800m gtx doesn't show enough improvement and the price is about 200$ more for a considerable improvement using sli 9800m gt.

    Thats what I was looking at, there seems to be no improvement and for $200 I probly would be better off with the np9262 and think of going with the Q9450 then E8500.
    Thanks for the input every one.

    Being more energy efficient doesn't just mean more battery life, but less heat which means a longer life for your laptop overall. If you can afford dual grx cards, I don't think a few bucks more is going to make a difference. If battery life doesn't matter and its not going to move around much, go for the 9626. I have to take my laptop around school everyday, while trying to maintain the standard of graphics my desktop has spoiled me on, so the 570tu is the best choice for me.
