    HP custom configured dv 5000t cannot get media edition operating system without upgrading to the better video card for $150.00 the 950 graphics card won't work. I have a hard time believing that. Dell and Gateway sell their duel processor with the 950 card and the media edition. Maybe in video editing it may be slow.Anybody have any thoughts on this.

    I don't know why they'd require it, but upgrading to a proper graphics chip is a VERY good idea. $150 seems a bit overpriced for the low-end GeForce 7400 Go though. Still, just about any dedicated GPU will look good compared to the Intel GMA series.
