Best video card available for a 15 or 15.4 inch laptop?

[Boney]

I have a quick question about 15 and 15.4 (widescreen) laptops in that the best lappy i can find only comes with like a x600 or 700 mobile video card.

I was "hoping" to find something with better performance at this screen size but i dont exactly want a 17in. beast.

Does anyone know if any 15incher comes with (im probably dreaming) a x1800 mobile?

Or does anyone know what "IS" the best videocard i can find in a 15 or 15.4 laptop?

thanks

the fastest ATI chipset in a laptop comes in x1600 form with 256MB of RAM. You can find them in the Lenovo T60p, the Acer Travelmate 8200, and the Apple MacBookPro (and all are between 15-15.4" LCDs). There might be some build-to-order type laptops available that carry the x1600 but none that I know of that are currently shipping (although I admit it's been several weeks since I last checked). There might also be some other manufacturers that have the x1600 so maybe someone else can chime in...

As far as nVidia chipsets go, I haven't a clue which is the best. However, Dell and Alienware, among others, ship with nVidia graphics cards.

That would be nice .... but - id rather it be a stock laptop rather than having to void my warranty THAT much
