    I just made an order with Dell 1520, but I just found the ASUS F3 Series on NewEgg and may need to cancel my dell order.

    What do you ppl think of the ASUS F3 Series -
    does it have heating issues,
    is it fast on a 2.2 Core2Duo for gaming
    are the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GS faster than the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT or what is the difference :confused:
    Edit: also found the ATI HD2600, is good or better?

    need help ASAP :D

    ATI HD2600 (I think it's 512MB DDR2) = GF 8600M GT DDR2

    ATI HD2600 or GF 8600M GT is better for casual gaming . Don't buy 8600M GS ,B'coz it's lower powered version of 8600M GT
