Sounds great! Thanks. As I have said before, most of the games I play are not the most intensive. I dont play HL2, Doom 3, Farcry stuff. At least, not on my laptop. So I should be fine. I will look forward to you pm and also to...

Good points and I understand them completely! I agree that benchmarks are probably far less useful then people make them out to be. I suppose I was just interested in the performance difference between the 9700/64 and the 9700/128. ...

Well, in this thread: http://notebookforums.com/showthread.php?t=39929 a couple of people have actually said that Asus is bringing it out, perhaps by the end of this month. Of course, this is somewhat debated. I don't know enough about...

Holy Smokes! and all I want is the Asus with 9700/128! If that darn lappy had that I would have bought it already. But a 9800? That is very interesting. I was not sure how many notebooks we would see with that card in them.

Well, I just wrote a big long rant about people who answer the initial question by saying "there's no point in waiting...there will always be something new...if you think like that you will never buy anything." Then I deleted...
