    Please tell me this
    Is Nvidia 8600M GS is better or ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4500 ? Both are 256MB and Direct X 10 compatible so I would like to know which one I go in laptop?? I have heard abt Nvidia cards getting faulty. Also is it OK for Nvidia 8600M GS to run on 50C and more???

    Thanks

    Which 45xx model is it? Either way, they should all be better than than the 86xx series. Also, they are newer. nVidia GPUs are ok now. And yes, GPUs can run over 50 deg C no problem. I would say you should keep your temps below 80 deg C, although it can run higher than that.

    You MUST be looking at the LG P300 right? Thats a guess i think im right though. go with the 4570(let me guess you are looking at the Asus F6?) because the nvidia fiasco supposedly isnt over so be careful.

    I'd also have to say the 4570. I myself have the 8600M in my 1530 it runs fine, but I've seen better results off the 4570.
