    Anyways, i just bumped into this model, probably an Asian model (Satellite M50-P345). The specs are as followed:

    My question is, i don't think i've heard of this x600se. I've read about the TE(Toshiba Version) on how it cools it down. So wanted to know how fast is this card? Can it go Doom3 on High at native but without AA? Thanx 4 your help.

    Oh, i thought, i post the specs of this model cuz i see COUNTLESS posts on Fairly Light Semi-Gaming-Multimedia Laptop. Got almost everything, CSV,HArmon Kardon SRS Speakers, DVD DL Burner,5 in 1 reader,decentish display card (would prefer the 6600 tho)...Only bummer is the smallish hardrive and slower processor which i am told that is not so important for gaming. Saw this model in the Toshiba Singapore site if anyones interested.

    Cheers
