I had the pleasure of toying around with the Alienware laptop we got in the other day, and I must admit, I am impressed with how far mobile graphics has come. I mean, my last laptop had 64MB of shared graphics memory on a Radeon 9600 chipset, needless to say these chips, and those in the Alienware are a significant improvement.

The mobile GTX features 96 stream processors, a core clock of 500MHz, a shader clock of 1250MHz, and a memory clock of 800MHz, it'll support up to 512MB of video memory and has a 256-bit memory interface. The GTS dials that down a decent amount, but is still good for gaming, depending on how hardcore you are.
