    What is the GPU in the ASUS I'm buying? (K50ID-X1)

    I can't find anything about the card listed on the specs at the website I'm purchasing the computer at (Newegg) other than that it is a Nvidia GeForce GT 320M. Nvidia... has absolutely no information about this card in its 'notebook GPUs' section... by a Google search, I was eventually led to:

    http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_geforce_gt_320_us.html

    --listed in the Desktop section.

    Does anyone have the K50ID, and/or knows what it is Nvidia is doing in its branding? Is this laptop really equipped with a high-end desktop GPU? Or this a different card altogether? (I figure it's the latter). Alternatively, is there anyone here who DOES have this computer and can tell me about the graphics?

    Please help...
