At the Games Convention in Leipzig, Germany, CPU-maker Intel unveiled its newest gamer-oriented mobile processor for notebook PCs, the Core 2 Extreme X7900. Built on 65nm, the X7900 features a 800MHz FSB, 4MB L2 cache, is clocked at 2.8GHz, and will suceed the X7800. With a TDP of only 44W and an unlocked multiplier, the new chip will certainly have some overclocking headroom. The first laptops powered by the X7900 are expected to hit the stores in the next four weeks.

If you're gonna fork out $2,000+ USD to buy a laptop you better do some good research if you don't then that's just your fault you are confused.
Just because this processor can be overclocked doesn't mean that it would be practical to do so. Seems to me that the cooling apparatus necessary for any serious overclocking project would be cumbersome to say the least. What're people going to do? Drag around an attached water-cooling system behind their laptops in a wagon?
The best available in the area I live is the x1400 or the 8400GS.
I'm using an older Toshiba with an x700 in it and it runs better than even new laptops for gaming.
Laptop makers should be more focused on making a decent computer instead of making one that lowers the bar on price.
And the first thing they look at is the price.
And anyone that gose and buys a laptop and its 32bit I do feel sorry for them. You can get a 64bit laptop for like $600.00ish if you watch for it.
Also love when people come in and want to do video editing on $300.00 laptop. lol
