    So I am planning on getting a new laptop, and for the gfx card I have only two requirements: 1) that it plays Need For Speed Most Wanted on reasonable settings smoothly and 2) that it supports the Vista Aero glass effect thing.
    I really like the Dell XPS M1210 (the config at Costco :D) with the 64MB dedicated/192MB TurboCache GeForce Go7400. Will it be able to do those things? Just wondering, because everything else about the XPS suits me perfectly.

    If the XPS M1210 meets the requirements for that game, then it can play it. Not sure of the settings though, look at the desktop 7300GS benchmarks. It's about as powerful as a Go7400.

    As for Vista, see the bottom of the Graphics Card Chart:
