There is the alienware one with the external GPU options. Havent had any 
experience with their laptops though. I suspect they are rather pricey

Halo!

I'm gonna buy a new laptop so I was wondering what's the right graphic card for 
me. I'm using XSI, Houdini and Zbrush mostly. So I have some questions if you 
don't mind:
1) A co-worker told me some cards are more into DirectX and some other are more 
into OpenGL, is that true?
2) Are these 2 standards into the hardware or are they only software based?
3) For 3d apps, what's more used, Open GL or Direct X?

Thanks : )
David
