    This is turning out to be one of the best laptop purchases I've ever made. I've owned Dells and Sonys before, and I've never been this pleased with a system.

    What's your video memory size reported in "Display Properties"?
    I don't think FireGL V5200 comes with hypermemory, or does it?

    Since you say it's so quiet, mind telling us how fast your HDD spins?
    7200rpm or 5400rpm?

    The idle noise in the 7200.1 Seagate Momentus is probably the only thing you can hear in a T60, at least that is all that I can hear on mine, except for the fan of course when it is on. Hitachi also makes a 7200 RPM, the 7K100. I believe both are comparable in terms of noise, although the Seagate is quieter on seeks (load noise).
