    I have a 4500MHD Intel integrated chip in my new HP, and a 9600M GT 512MB DDR2 in my Pavilion dv5t.

    nVIDIA 8600M GT DDR2 Bumpgate Edition. Powerwise, it's plenty powerful enough for what I need. Serious Error-wise, it's much more prolific than what I want. I probably could send my laptop in to Dell for a warranty replacement (likely of the whole system, resulting in one with ATI graphics) whenever I wanted, but the 8600M GT is doing well enough that it's still fun to play games for an hour or so before it crashes, and it's still much better than a GMA X3100 would be. But I do hope that in 6 months I can be voting ATI in these polls.

    8600M GT 512MB for now. Next will hopefully be 280M.

    Yeah, Nvidia.

    I've actually never used an ATi card personally, all of the computers I've had have been Nvidia cards or (older) Intels.

    9600m GT for me.

    Nvidia 8600M GT but my experience with nvidia leads me to prefer an ati card from here on out.

    Nvidia seems to be doing very well in the poll, considering the whole faulty gpu fiasco.

    Intel GMA 4500m HD here.

    It handles all my HD video needs and even gives me great battery life. I do my gaming on my Xbox 360, so I value endurance more on my notebook.

    The poll is asking what card you currently have, not what you plan to buy next time. There are plenty of nVidia equipped time-bombs out there that have yet to fail.

    Do you think there are more faulty gpu`s than just the known ones from the 8000 series.

    I would not rule out the possibility. But my comment was directed more to the many other 8000 series GPU equipped notebooks that have yet to fail, but may still fail prematurely.

    nice, good results for nvidia. Especially on ati fanboy forum like this one. I still love how GTX280m and soon GTX285m. Which is a 4 year old design now is basically 90% as fast as the new ATI cards that ATi spend trillions in development and marketing to hype up Ati fanboys. But hey, competition is good ^^

    Since when has this forum been an "ATI fanboy" forum? I think there are a lot more NVIDIA fans than ATI fans here. I have also seen a poll where the question was "Do you prefer ATI or NVIDIA?", and NVIDIA was ahead by a long way.

    Ati fanboy forum? this one?
    I think you are the only fanboy here, and not from ATI.

    BTW, do you like the way nvidia works? Releasing that "4 year old design" and deceiveing the general public to think that its new technology?

    I agree with Greg Ross; there are a lot of us who bought systems in 2007 or early 2008 when nVIDIA was the better option from a price :performance (and overall performance) perspective, but would rather have ATI if we bought now.

    9800 GTS 1GB here, although I'm giving Nvidia just one more chance, then I'm making the switch and it ain't to intel.

    7600 go in my HP went belly up after 14 months....................defective , but no one would fix it.

    Then I ordered my current notebook, Sager 5793, 9800GTS 512mb, dedicated video card, don't have to replace the whole motherboard, as was the case with my HP, but......................just two weeks after recieving my notebook, the NVIDIA 9800 went belly up, sent back for repair, paid extra for the 1gb, I know it doesn't make that much difference and no problems since !

    Anyways , thats 2 strikes against Nvidia, 3 and their out and ATI's in !

    That's an interesting way to spin Nvidia's rehashing of old chipsets, and general complacency!
