full power or gimped i would think this card would still be fast and be able to play just about anything you want.

Your probaly right, I was able to play World of Warcraft at 1920x1200 @ 30-60 fps =)

I just order the I9300 what are the default GPU core/memory clocks?
Thanks

Anyone know if in the future we will be able to upgrade to videocard to the 6800 Ultra or better.

clock speed 290/300

I don't remember offhand but I think those numbers are correct, I ran 3dmark05 and those numbers look familiar. BUT from everything I have read there are utilities to overclock the card. I have no problems whatsoever playing World of Warcraft 1920x1200 ~30-60fps so I am quite happy, not to mention the game looks amazing.

I'll wait for my 9300 to arrive and see if it can handle my gaming and HDTV needs since I will be editing the video also(I hate Macs). If it can't I try ordering the Ultra from Dell parts.

Trust me the 6800 is good enough , the 6800 Ultra is one of the best cards out their dude.

Agree. We all hate seeing something that we spend a lot of money for being gimped but yes the 6800 is the upper echelon of mobile video cards it will let you play anything out there and it will play it well. Look at the "extreme" gamer laptops like Alienware and such most of the manufactures offer the 6800 standard.

Install the forceware drivers and you are set: wwww.laptopvideo2go.com
