    EDIT: Excusez-moi.

    Integrated card is a negative, and so is the media card reader that doesn't read xd picture cards. (What will you do when your freinds and coworkers show up that own fuji and olympus cameras?) Everything else looks great, but what is the cost since I didn't see it for comparables?

    Hey guys, this was a serious question.
    So don't bother to post if you have nothing helpful to say.

    Thanks

    That's bad for some 3D-work (got an integrated GPU). What kind of 3d-work?

    Hi Fabarati :)

    I do some modelling/rendering with Cinema 4D, which I did on my old machine (PIII with Crusoe and without 3D card!) with no real problem.

    But I found the Asus Z99S that costs the same as the A8 and that has a Nvidia GeForce Go8400M :

    I'll go for it I think. And I've read some good reviews about it on this site :)

    Mine says it does in the specs, but I don't know if it really does.
