So, to follow up on the previous conversations.
If I am not doing serious games then all I would need for a graphics card would be the 128 mb card? If not doing serious gaming, would the 256 card have any other advantages or disadvantages?
Still lost on the 1280 Anti vs Glossy screen. Pros and Cons on each? I will be indoors mostly with internet and excel/word programs to describe most of my activity. Need some help, ordering today to get the tax free bargain. Thanks

Go with the glossy one if you are working indoors.
If you are not playing any games the 128MB Card will be enough. -
Will I have heat issues more with the 256 card?

Graphics cards are used for more things than just games . Go with the best one that you can

To the OP, it sounds to me like 128mb may be sufficient for your needs but that depends really on how much you will be gaming, also accounting for the fact that games in the future will keeping having steeper requirements. So is it worth spending an extra $100 now? Also, a better video card should improve your movie experience and make multimedia presentations run more smoothly, if you're into that.
As for screen type, glossy is better indoors in average-to-lower lighting conditions, so it depends how much light you'll be around. It also has a bit better contrast in general. Plus, you can always get a screen protector or anti-glare filter if you are working in heavier lighting conditions. -

It depend how much it costs. If the difference betewen the 8400 and the 8600 is like... 50$... take it. The 8600 is clearly a step better than the 8400.
