Laptops all have integrated video, which means that the video processing is a chip added to the mainboard. Thats one reason (among others) why a lap is slower than an equivalent desktop. Another reason to get minimally 1gig RAM, and as fast a processor as you can afford.

Yeah,IF you can get the card from UK, and IF you want to pay that kind of money, and IF you have the special board that will accept that card. Three big IFs that don't fly in Best Buy, CompUSA, Frys, and 99% of the laps out on the market including the major online vendors.

So if all these laptops have only onboard graphics, won't vista be a waste for labtop users unless it just comes with Vista Basic? However I see many laptops even now come with premium. Doesn't make any sense.
