    Anyone know what variety of 128MB this card is?

    I don't think I'm interested in the 64 bit version, but I can't tell from the site which version of the 128MB card it is. I don't know why Nvidia doesn't have the 128MB cards in this series even on their site.

    I love this laptop, just not sure on the video card.

    Here's a link for those interested:

    The Sony VAIO FE790 has the Go7600 128MB dedicated, with a 128-bit bus. It is a decent performer and manages about 2,800-3,000 points in 3DMark05.

    I agree, it is a beautiful machine. I'm tempted to buy one, but I am not planning on upgrading my machine right now.

    Thank God... thats a relief to know...
    Chaz thanks a lot for confirming it. I just bought FE790 and I couldnt find out about the card. I was quite worried that the card might be 64 bit version.

    My laptop is on its way right now... I just loved it, couldnt resist buying it...
