    anybody who has the DV9000z with the GeForce Go 7600 256MB Video Card is this fully 256MB dedicated or does it share a portion with the regular system memory. There has been conflicting answers in another thread.

    thanks

    I'm also thinking of getting this notebook from Office Depot. My needs are a little video editing from my digital camcorder (need a firewire) and web browsing and downloading pictures. I was thinking of upgrading to the Turion X2 TL50, thinking I need the extra power. Any one have any thoughts on this. Otherwise, I was just going to leave the configuration as it is with Office Depot. Still a great notebook. Thanks

    Upgrading to a Turion X2 is a very good idea. Dual cores are very nice to have.

    The advantage the Turion offers over the Sempron is that being dual core it will be more useful if you are the type of person who multitasks. If you are running single apps there wont be too much of a difference. Now, more applications in the future might be multithrearded - meaning they can use both cores and so will offer very good performance improvements over a single core processor.

    I would say go with the Turion but if you cannot afford it then the Sempron should not be too much slower.
