Right. You can order either the integrated Intel 965gm graphics or the nvidia. Frankly, since no one is serious about playing killer 3D games on something without higher end graphics, you'll get better battery life with the baseline integrated Intel graphics, and we *may* get suspend/resume working first on the Intel graphics. But not sure. It's a horse race to see if the Intel graphics or the Nvidia co team can supply suspend/resume hooks in the driver first. Garrett has the Intel integrated graphics, which I think are a good choice. > -- Garrett > > Mike DeMarco wrote: > >>> Mike DeMarco wrote: >>> >>> >>>> Just killed my MSI 675 laptop by dropping it on the >>>> >>>> >>> ground. >>> >>> >>>> Looking for recomendations on what people are >>>> >>>> >>> running. >>> >>> >>>> Wants: >>>> AMD dual core >>>> >>>> >>>> >>> This is a bad choice for a laptop... dual core AMD >>> does not have any >>> kind of power savings support right now, and it is >>> likely to be a while >>> before that is fixed.
