    I'm looking to buy a laptop. The heaviest task it will perform is (lots of) World of Warcraft. Sometimes, late at nights I dream about playing oblivion though. I'm thinking about buying a system with a GF 6600 card. However, I am tempted to wait a little and try to get a hold of an MSI 1039 with a ati x1600. But, just how more wicked is that card? Will the comp be a lot more pricey than a system built with a 6600 card? (since WoW is a very RAM intensive game I am planning to max out the RAM to 2048, and equip it with a small 7200 rpm HDD and a large external drive for mediafiles and such)

    to sum it up: is the x1600 worth the wait and the fact that I might have to import it? (living in sweden)
