    what's the temperature of this chip when under heavy load? (gaming) when idle?

    i'm skeptical about getting a new laptop equipped with this chip because its nvidia. i don't what to buy a laptop that will burn on me again. (g86 chip overheating issue)

    GeForce GT 120M is technically a slower clocked 130M GT with lower power consumption. Since its performance is comparable to the 9600M GT, you should not be worried about the "overheating" (??? that I am not really paying attention to) issue of the G86xx series.

    cheers ...
