I just went to the website and saw that the m15x now has the Nvidia 9800GT gpu. They no longer carry the 8800...

The 9800GT is the same card as the 8800GTX. nVidia likes to re-brand the same cards making you think you're getting something newer. Welcome to the world of re-branding.

Um not so much.......
8800 and 9800 ARE VERY Similar, but there ARE some differences, like one has a wider memory pipe while the other has more general purpose shaders...or something like that. (I dont remember exactly which specs were traded off on) but it was very apparent when games/benchmarks that stressed those two features one would outperform the other and vice versa, with the 9800 slightly ahead overall but when price was factored it was pretty much a wash.
Throw in a die shrink and physx and its really not the same card.

9800 = equals better physics effects like explosions etc.... = more realistic. That would make the 9800 a better card and actually an upgrade.
