Yeah, I figured the CPUs should be near identical. Wasn't sure about the gfx though. Thx Would be interesting to see a laptop stomp many desktops in benchies though

Well Gary, have fun. And yeah, it does sound like this should hold you off nicely, in the dorms I'm gathering?

Well just some of the standard stuff I guess, along with some of the games you would be looking to play on this thing

Not sure what games you're interested in though... Would probably give you a certain sense of satisfaction to see some of your fav games pulling some really good numbers, before you leave

thats not too bad... should be able to game rather well with it

btw I had mentioned that the gfx card was similar to mine... I had gotten into the mind-set you had the 9800 (all that jazz on the last page )...

your gpu should perform around the level of a 9600xt actually and slower than a dtop r300 series product..

Yeah, you should be able to game. The other side of moving on campus...(if I'm correct in assuming this) is that there broadband connection

Yeah, yeah, I know peeps buy them for their school work, but invariably end up installing games

wow..late reply..haven't been on the site for a while..sorry lol and yea i do think the laptop is great they have released 3 bios fixes that fixed pretty much every flaw with it and it runs cool and great now screens beautiful no dead pixels processing power is great and it clocks down to save battery so thats a great help. as for the store its not available in a store. the company (PCTorque) has a store in florida if he wants to get it from there otherwise they ship out to wherever..im in canada i got it shipped to some relatives in michigan and picked it up there and everything worked out great. All the sales reps are great to work with and actually know what their talking about so it shouldn't be a problem at all..again sorry for the late reply

Such a nice laptop, and 17" inch screen as well! First time I've ever seen an A64 on a laptop. Congrats on the purchase
