thanks for all the posts and replies.
I will have to think on what I have learned. It seems that ImaNihilist has hit my problem right on the nose. It looks like I'm trying to find too much power in a small bundle and no one makes it. I've pretty much decided to avoid the 7800 just because it cost to darn much(much as I'd love to have it). From what ya'll keep saying though a 17" with a 6800 GT or ultra will out-perform a 15" with an x700 or 6600 (the smaller res doesn't make up for the card being less powerful).
Anyway so now basically I have to make the final decisions on what to do...go with a giant, or with a smaller less powerful laptop.
And just to be absolutely clear....there is no such thing as a pentium mobile that is above 2.26Ghz...
I found thins thing on www.nextag.com that seems to say it has a 3.4 pentium-m (the 650). If I'm not mistaken, thats a desktop chip not a mobile
