    There's a bit of info here, but other than that, not much:

    Should be around the X200M speed, a bit faster perhaps - no sets of benchmarks are out for the Go6150 so it is not possible to say at this time.

    I heard hat its a little bit faster then the older nVidia GeForce 6100 series and X200 series . It seems to be so far the 'best' onboard graphics card for a lappie , that supports Pixel Shader v 3.0...

    Nvidia wasn't too specific when it came to that, but I'd assume it would be similar to what Nvidia does now - double the dedicated RAM (if any) and call it TurboCache (128MB TC would be 64MB + 64MB). If it was all shared, it would probably go up to 128MB, perhaps more.

    Any word on when you get your laptop yet? Loooks like a nice system.

    It's "in production" so hopefully i was see it here within the next 2 weeks. I plan to do a full review for the site as well. Thanks for your help!

    yeah, grab the bars for sure if you would like. im just disapointed they didn't have a turion X2 bar! when does it say you will get your lappy and is it in production yet? mine is already in production but it says it will SHIP on the 28th. I think thats pry pretty far off considering i bought 2 days after it was released..

    where do you get the bars from?
    are there any intel bars?????

    ok on topic:
    the geForce 6150 looks pathetic to me. the ATI x1100 (or something) will be much better! so id go for that one ;)

    first off, click on the bars, it takes you to the site i think.

    Secondly, don't be one of these ignorant "POWER TESTOSTERONE POWER" people in here that accept nothing but state of the art. Newsflash, some of us don't plan to game with our lappy! i have a tower with a 4200+ and dual 7800 GTs and 3 GB of ram for that. I want something solid, dependable, light, with a good picture and looks. That is perfect for me. Before you go around calling things "pathetic" consider that every has different needs. This forum is for EVERYONE, not just people who sit in a dark room and play FEAR for hours on end. I appologize if I come off as harsh but lets be here to help out all of our users.
