    Wow the 7950GTX is pretty powerful, how much dedicated memory does it have, 256 or 512?

    Makes the Go 7400 look like a toy in comparison.

    Yeah, BF2142 takes a long time to load. A lot of new games do. But honestly, the 160GB hard drive isn't going to be much slower than a 100GB 7200RPM because the data density is higher. They'll be roughly the same. Not to mention a lot of BF2142's load times probably come from the online stuff that needs to be communicated.
