    I can run it at the highest settings, but on DX7. So i just keep it on DX8 w/ medium settings!

    I think the video card was better on the ZV5000, the ZV6000's GPU is integrated right?

    Actually, the Radeon 200M benches better than the GeForce 440 Go in the zv5000z. I ran Aquamark3 on a Shuttle ST20G5 desktop with the Radeon 200 and no dedicated video memory and it scored slightly higher than my zv5000z notebook despite having a slightly slower CPU. The 128MB of dedicated memory on the zv6000 (optional, but nearly everyone buys it, neat trick for an integrated GPU, four BGA RAM chips don't take up much board space) will improve on that of course, especially in higher resolutions. The Radeon 200M is the first shared memory GPU I'd consider using. It's a few times faster than the Intel GPUs most people are used to. nVidia's next generation integrated GPU sounds promising too, not sure when that'll be available.

    I'd still rather have a Radeon X700 GPU, or even the X600 that Gateway uses in their new Athlon 64 notebook.

    Nope it has dedicated memory. Better than the Geforce 440 in that it supports the newer Directx formats and offers more memory and also is a PCIe graphics card. It is also slightly more powerful than the 440.

    I can run it in DX9, but i dont get the best performance, usually low 20s for FPS, but when i go to DX8 with medium settings i get FPS in mid 40s. For DX7 I can get a range from 60s-80s depending on the map and settings.
