most windows vista/7 laptops have atleast shader model 2.0 which is the requirement for toribash, my brother's $300 laptop has shaders and can run toribash at 30 fps with them on.
however i would personally get a better laptop than a $300 one if you're looking for a decent gaming laptop. (not extreme gaming laptop like an alienware)
What temp is your CPU running at? A 1Ghz O/C isn't what I would call a minor O/C...
Also, the 8800GTX is better than the 9800GT because the 9800GT uses the exact same chip as the 8800GT.
