I was just playing around on the alienware site and realized thay did away with the choice of the nvidia card. One choice now. Anyone have any info on this?

Yep ... but if you go to the .co.uk site, you can choose between the 2, but does state the Nvidia is "limited supply" - but in the UK site it's a lot less options

I ordered the Nvidia because 1. I've only read problems regarding the ATI and never the Nvidia and 2. They had a $160 rebate on the ATI which is always a source of sucpicion...

I'm gonna use my laptop for BF1942, CoD, Ut2k3, Halo, GTA:VC, and MOHAA..... will the Nvidia be able to supply the power I need to play those games or should I change my order.... I just hit phase 5 which took about 3 buisness weeks for me... mabey more....

Ive been using Nvidia for several years, and the cards always performed well. Some of my friends had radions that were... shall we say less than perfect? Anyways, i originally was going to order the go5200 but I changed my mind when i saw the benchmarks for the ATI. I should get my lappie in less than a week, and I think it will prove to be a good decision.

Phase 13
Saucer Silver 15.4" | 3.0 GHz | 512 MB PC 3200 | Radion 9600 | 60GB 7200 rpm HDD

Don't get crazy guys. The latest issue of PCGamer Magazine shows the A51m2 sporting the Nvidia 5700 card. Just an FYI.

they MIGHT just be updating the system, i would say wait it out. They might not want to sell people 5600's right b4 they release the 5700 . If they do what i am thinking they are making sure people dont get pissed that they bought a 5600 like a day or a week b4 the 5700 came out

does anyone know how well the fx go5700 is supposed to perform compared to the go5600 or the ATI mobility 9600?
