    This is just a very small improvement, and in all honesty it looks like they did it just to raise the price on the laptops. Why just increase the RAM of the video card, why not work to put a better video card in it?

    I wish they would just design a new line of laptops and devote their time and money into more performance for their laptops. I know they own VooDoo, but voodoo is ridiculously expensive and I can't understand how anybody would want to buy one unless they were loaded with more money than they would know what to do with.
