Question:
15 inch 8800GTX notebook
I would like to get a notebook that isn't a big 17inch one. Is it possible for a 15inch notebook to have a 8800GTX video card and a 2.4 processor?

Yeah its possible we dont know specs yet on the 8800m but it will proabably be very thick and look like a brick.
Sager/Clevo are probably your best bet for somthing like that.

possible but not cost effective to make, 17" Arima 1.5" or Clevo 2.35" is best bet, but not for a while, 8700m is only just phasing in

Thanks for the info. I guess I'll stick with the 8600GT card. Do you know if there are laptops with a 2.4GHz with this kind of card?

Just a note : The main bottleneck in current games is the GPU, so upgrading the CPU won't make much of a difference [stick with a 2.0 or 2.2GHz at most if you want gaming]

Oh, ok. But what do you mean by "bottleneck"? I've heard that term before but don't know what it means.
Answer:
Re: 15 inch 8800GTX notebook
One part (CPU) has to wait for the other to finish something (GPU) before it can move on to its next task, with SLi for example the GFX cards are too powerfuk for the cpu too handle.
The worst part determines how fast the whole is.

Bottleneck means the limiting factor. For example: You can have a car which is very aerodynamic but has only 100 bhp, the engine is the bottleneck.

Just how powerful is the 8600GT? Compared to the 7series how is it?

Only partially true, usually the bottleneck is the CPU limiting the GPU. The GPU cant bottleneck the CPU since even stuff like physics, and AI in games will still benefit from a stronger CPU, even if the GPU sucks.
The 8800m is having overheating issues as it is, which is why it isnt released yet. It would seem impossible to put one into a 15" notebook unless it was someting 2" thick just for the cooling.
8600GT is about that of the 7900GS
