x800 in a powerbook?

Hey, I was wondering, do you think I could slide an x800 into a 17" powerbook?
While the 9700 is good.... I figure if I'm going all out, I might as well throw in a 500 dollar graphics card.

There are only a couple of notebooks that have ever had a user replacable graphics card, off the top of my head there was an Alienware one. It had to use an Alienware made graphics cards, so you could only replace it with whatever Alienware decided to make into that formfactor. Laptops generally have everything except ram soldered on (and some even have ram soldered on) making it nearly impossible to replace any of it with something better. Only way to get an x800 in a Powerbook would be to wait and see if Apple ever releases a new generation of Powerbooks that has an x800 available for it, then get one with it already installed.

You know how much heat that thing would generate? Even if there were some way it could be adequetly cooled, it wouldn't fit in any laptop I know of, and Ive never seen a mobility version of the card, much less a mac-compatible one.
