    Looks like a great deal. Would this GPU be decent? Thoughts on how quiet the notebook would be? Anyone have real world experience w/ this puppy?

    ahh, its only 128mb, if ur just doing normal work it would be ok, but if ur a gamer i dont think u should use that notebook. The f3sv-b2 would be a good deal other than the harddrive space.

    I'm thinking of the M51SR-A1 as well. It looks quite a high spec for the price. Are there any reviews for it about?

    good for light RPG games, it is faster than the 8400m G, same par 8400m GS, definitely half the speed of the 8600GT
