I think mine's previous owner bought it right before the 9600 came out. It's not like I do a lot of 3D gaming on it, so it works well enough. Desktop replacement notebooks feature some out-of-control mobility GPUs now, some of which are not that much slower than their desktop equivalents.
(I could always shell out $4000+ for something ridiculous like the Hypersonic AviatorEX7 or FX7. Anandtech did a first look on the GeForce Go 7800 GTX in the EX7, and it definitely held its own. Of course, both are actually heavier than my current boat anchor of a laptop...)
