Don't just half measure and buy something that will not perform, spend just a little and be happy... Be sure and go to the ATI website and download the latest ATI drivers, not the one's one the disc... Power supplies are very self explainitory in disconnecting and reconnecting plugs. The drivers themselves is the biggest pain. You need to uninstall your old drivers from Add/Remove programs then let the system reboot, upon rebooting go into bios and select PCIEx16 slot as primary VGA. When you reach desktop shut the system down. Go in and unhook your power supply and install the new one, Take two of the PCI slot covers off the back of the case, being that the 4870 is a dual slot card, one slot is for allowing the cards fan to breathe exhaust out the back of the case. Now install the 2 6pin plugs into the card, and insert it into the PCIEx16 slot and close the case. Restart the system and when you reach desktop install your downloaded drivers. Now the ASUS card has a utility tool that I like called SMART DOCTOR that has fan control on it, even though the new ATI drivers have fan control, you can only control the % you are running. The SMART DOCTOR lets you set a % for what temp your card is running at. That is the one advantage of the ASUS cards. This card will run very hot until the fan speed is bumped up, so be aware...

i think to decide better you should go to the store and test them out. that way you can see for your self what works better and not get opinions from others. and when you go talk to one of the people at the store who are experts on it. good luck! and i hope you like your new laptop!

This is definitely worth the $1000 with the 6GB of RAM it will be plenty fast! However you might have trouble finding applications that takes full advantage of the 64 bit OS. You could downgrade to 32 bit OS but you would lose 2GB of RAM. I think that it is well worth the money and you will be fine with the 64 bit OS.

Last one. 3GB RAM and >256MB VRAM is my recommendation for Vista. AMD is good, it’s bit less power efficient and slightly favors focused-tasking over multitasking (like for games).

Its funny how Mac users always try to hijack threads and get more people to fall into their trap. Most people actually use WinMacs eventually (of the 7% of Mac users…5 out of 7 are WinMacers).[link] Yeah, macs are good…as expensive Windows machines that look fashionable.
