The Dell will make you happier in the long run. The 7600 is still a mid-range GPU even though it is being put in 17" machines.

Nice machine! Very good condition, same deal as my outlet Precision M70 was. Oh, but you should edit that last picture out so nobody tries to steal your WinXP Home key.

Hmmm. A 6800 Ultra should definitely be working. I would suggest double-checking the connections. Post #78 in this thread mentions the 6800 Ultra working in a D810, which is the same mobo as the...

I figure i'll chime in here since I might be doing a mod like it (if I can find the 7800GTX in the future) Heat is the most important concern. Some individuals were able to mod the quadro heatsink with copper shims and such to improve...

No Core Duo (or Core 2 Duo) compatible 15.4" machines have better than the 7600/X1600 GPU. There was the Precision M70/Latitude D810 that could take undervolted/underclocked 7800go GTX's but other than that, not much. You might...

I don't know where that site is getting that information. ATI doesn't mention producing a 64-bit memory version of the x1600. Even if there was, the Acer and Asus both use hypermemory, and run 50% faster than the MBP. The real problem is...

According to Apple Macbook's (non-pro) do have a sudden motion sensor, so you should be able to follow this guys blog instructions to compile the program, located here: http://blog.medallia.com/2006/05/smacbook_pro.html Or, it looks...

The HP nc8430 is pretty close to the MBP at 10.2 x 14.1 x 1.1 in., and 5.95 lbs. As far as finding something even thinner, that will be hard because apple made the choice to solder the processor onto the mainboard.

Dell does have a few upgrade options: For 15.4" laptops, the Latitude D810 (w/x600) and Precision M70 can be upgraded to a 6800go or a 7800go GTX. For 17" laptops, the Inspiron 9300 (w/x300) and XPS Gen 2 can be upgraded to a...

I do not own any CAD software but I have ran UnrealEd 3.0, a map editor for UT2004, on my M70. It runs very well. Smoother than my desktop rig, an A64 @ 2.25ghz with 1GB ram and a X800 Pro. I guess it is due to the Quadro being able to...
