    I have an idea what I want, but dear god, Acer has the worst website I've seen in quite some time.

    Is there any way to find out some minimums like what would have at least an Nvidia 6150, or perhaps AMD options, etc? Their site blows and I"m not going through every one to find out.

    Acer currently offers only 3-4 AMD based systems for the US. They are the Aspire 3100(Sempron)/5100(Turion X2) seires with the X1150. The 5112(Turion X2) with the X1600. The Acer Ferrari 4006(X2) with the X1600 and the 12" Ferrari 1000 series with the X1150. The rest are Intel based systems or older AMD models.

    I believe they do have a resoning for the model numbers, the number indicates the model(ex:5101,5102 etc). the W(as in 5102WXLi) indicates it has a widescreen display). The X has something to do with the OS(pro,home,MCE). The last 2 letters do have some meaning but I dont know what they indicate.
