    Does anybody know how this notebook GPU perfomes? I have not seen any news about this notebook on this site. You can buy this in Europe and Australia. The specs looks impressive at ATI homepage, but I have not seen any benchmark yet. Is it better than Nvidia 8600 ?

    Should be like HD2600. Seems to be a die-shrink, with maybe, MAYBE, a very small powerboost. I could be completly wrong, and it will r0x0rz everyones b0x0rz, but I don't think so. See 9500m GS vs 8600m GT.

    :)) ASUS really luvs to bump the GDDR ammount to trick customer to buy their products. First a physx card, then 8800GT now this.
    p/s: i didn;t say ASUS a bad brand, their mobos are rocking solid.
