    Hi,

    I'm looking to buy a new laptop and I'm trying to decide between the Dell Studio 15 or the Sony CW2. The Sony is my preferred laptop but it only has the Nvidia GeForce 310M with 256mb, whereas the Dell has an ATI 4570 with 512mb.

    I've looked at benchmarks and there isn't a lot between the two so I'm just wondering how much of a difference in performance there will be from the ATI 4570 having 256mb more memory? I wont be using it for games much, mainly Photoshop and occasional HD playback.

    Can anyone tell me if either or both cards support 'CG Shader Language'?

    Thanks,

    Flex
