Cheers.. 7800 would blow away that crappy x800. I have seen the x800 perform in gaming on a similiar HP laptop and I wasn't impressed. I have seen the 7800 perform in a Dell E1705 and it was awesome. Remember you can't upgrade a laptop video (not yet)...

on load.) But if your friend wants the best performance for AGP, check out the Radeon X1950 Pro. I think the price on average is cheaper than the 7800 and performs much better. The 7600gt trumps the 7800gs in clock speeds and price....is the 256mb memory...

been released and it's cheaper than 2 6800U with very good performance. It's at $599 in newegg.com &#14 Left to themselves, all things go from bad to worse are you saying the 7800 out performs what 2x 6800U's can do? Yes. Not only that, but for a cheaper...

X1950PRO; I think it'll be out in a month or two. I've been checking out specs and charts (here on Tom's), and the 7800GS AGP beats the X800 XT AGP, but on GPUReview, the specs look weaker for the 7800. Is the performance gain for games like FEAR going to...

It'll be fine even with integrated. 2. For older recent games (ie Oblivion, FEAR, Doom3, Quake4, etc) get yourself a $20 7600GT, $50 7800GT, $60 7950GT, or $60 8600GT (which falls between a 7600 and 7800 in performance) from ebay. 3. For fairly recent...

Gainward Bliss 7800 GS+. Hi Anyone else out there using this card? Mine's due for delivery tomorrow, to replace my X800 XT PE AGP, not expecting huge gains, but just wanted to know of anyones experience with the 7800 GS+ Thanks. Hi Anyone else...

increase. Obviously DX10 is not a concern for me right now. So 7600 GT + 50$ for a 7800 GT? Thats not such a good deal. With 20$ aftermarket cooling u can get to a 7800 GT performance level, with the 7600 GT and the 7800 GT cant overclock almost at all....

have the DDR2 version of the 8600m gt and the desktop 7900gt. OC'ed to match performance of the DDR3 8600m gt, the DDR2 version stacks up well against my 7900GT at 1280x800. the 7800 gt desktop card is slower than the 7900gt, therefore is in a similar performance...

supply specs or experience running the 7800 on a similar PSU to mine and and the out of box performance is almost identical I'm leaning towards the 7600 gt. Thanks again for the advice and info about the relative power of the cards. The 7600 GT and 7800...
