    I haven't seen any real benchmarks of this card and yet its available.. no reviewers, no one..

    Anyway id have my fujitsu n6460 right now if UPS wasn't run by monkeys. I'd have benches of the HD 2600 right now if they knew where Georgia was. I ordered it off newegg last thursday and chose UPS 3-day service. They ship it on thursday, the tracking wasn't updating but then finally it did on TUESDAY the day its suppose to be here. Guess where it is.. Miami florida.. WTF.. Not only that but then they ship it to South Carolina.. im thinking ok finally.. nope now its in Kentucky.. wow.. So then these idiots finally get it right and its now in Georgia and will be here tomorrow thursday.

    I'm hoping they didn't kick it around and its in perfect condition but who knows with UPS. So if everything is fine ill have benches up for the HD 2600 on vista 32-bit and if vista sucks that bad maybe ill install XP.

    vista should be OK at this point.
    go get some games for comparison with the 8600 series.

    battlefield 2 / 2142 or quake 4 / doom 3

    bioshock

    source based games

    Let's just hope that the UPS driver delivering your lappy isn't incompetent like this bloke.

    Looking forward to your thoughts on the HD2600.
