I have a question for the Ferrari owners - did you ever have problems caused by overheating? My lappy gets slightly hot near the touchpad, and very hot on the bottom. The heat itself doesn't bother me, but I'm worried that this could...

I would think that the 128MB Radeon 9600 would be a better choice than a 64MB 9700 (I'm just speculating though). The 9700 and 9600 are not that different, and 9600 also supports DirectX 9.0.
