You should definetively check if there's room to fit a Type III card. You were very lucky to have a Type I laptop that can fit a Type II, but Type III is quite a bit larger.
Furthermore, your laptop may not provide enough power or may not be capable of getting rid of the additional heat. This may lead your GPU to underclock automatically, crash often or simply not work at all.
If you can confirm that the mechanicall room is available, however, then I will gladly provide you with a 6800 to give it a try.

some corrections
we already knew that the a1667g has place for a mxm2 card, we discovered that months ago on thegamebooks.com. most uniwill barebones that are equipped with a mxm type 1 card can also fit 2/3 cards since uniwill makes barebones where oems can configure there laptops in all kinds of types.
btw, the a1667g should also be capable of carrying a mxm3 card (the only card that doesnt fit in is a MXM-HE as it has a totally different connector) as long as the caluclations are right
check out this post on
thegamebooks forum
the laptop will provide enough power, thats out of question.
getting rid of the additional heat, that might be a problem, but it's an easy task to install a better fan.
a gpu doesnt underclock itself automatically, it starts to produce errors and glitches and then it dies
btw, the difference between mxm3 and 2 is 22mm in height and ~10mm in width.. the mxm space in the amilo 1667g has the size ~105mm x ~94mm (a mxm card has the size of ~72mm x ~74mm)..
so again, theoretically a mxm3 card would fit, but there are two types of mxm3 cards (30x30 core like mxm1/2; and 40x40 core) so a 40x40 wont fit for sure because of the heatpipe and not all cards will fit because of the memory layouts and stuff..
