i just saw a Dell XPS laptop...wow, SLi setup, 3GB of ram and a good 2.4ghz cpu but hell it's heavy! How the hell do they fit all these stuff in such a small space? wouldn't there be a heat problem?

Clever heatpipe design and fan location means they don't get any hotter than top-end graphics cards in desktop PCs, if anything less so to prevent them from being too hot to hold. Remember where a Dual core desktop CPU may use 70W, a laptop one will only use 30. The same sort of difference applies to graphics cards. A mobile 7900GTX for example is about the same size as a credit card.

The mobile 9600GT (mine) is roughly equivalent to desktop 9500GT
EDIT- but you can cause problems if you block fans.
I once played UT3 on my lap for like 35/40 mins, and was monitoring the temp the whole time.
MY GPU HIT 93 degrees C!!!!!!!!
But stays around 8* when properly ventilated

Not really
I read a review of the HP DV something, on notebook review that had the same graphics card as mine, an he also hit 91 when gaming so maybe its just the card (DDR2/DDR3 both versions)

Yea, HP was about 106$ cheaper, but i shelled out the extra cash for DDR3 as there was quite a significant performance boost and would probably last longer

Yeah GRiD is good fun on LAN, except for the people who try playing it using a keyboard... :O
Typically there'll be between 30 and 50 people at an event, maybe around 20 during the latter hours of it.
