Windows Vista is just around the corner.....................
On the video card posts above,
It's not just the amount of video ram on the card.
It's also the type, and the bus type.
There's DDR300 on up, and DDR 2 at various speeds.
Also, on laptops, there is also shared video (sucks the video memory from system memory)
and dedicated memory, (which does not use system memory)
Then there's also the old AGP bus (several types) and PCI-X (aka pci express).
PCI-X is a lot faster, and is not the common type.
Both PC's and notebooks have all the types above.
Personally, I prefer ATI Radeon PCI express on all counts.
