    what could that graphics card be compared to?, i've been looking to buy a laptop, as well as have found a few, such as m17x, etc.

    and i stumbled upon this graphics card...

    is it good?, gddr5, erhm?

    I'm more of a dual 260gtx fan, but how well does it perform?

    The Geforce GTS 250M GDDR5 is pretty much similar in performance to the Geforce 9800M GT. They both have 96 shaders and while the 250M has a 128-bit memory bus, it makes up for it with the GDDR5 memory compared to the DDR3 9800M GT with its 256-bit memory bus.

    Whoa, since when did nVidia get GDDR5? Not even their desktop cards have it.

    The GTS 250M only has it because of the 128 bit bus.
