    Has anyone gamed with the NVS Quadro 140M yet? (I've seen the benchmarks and read comparisons, I'm just interested in real life experience. I plan on doing most gaming on my 360 but it would be nice to play BF2 and maybe an rts or two.)

    I'm considering buying a TV tuner and I'd like some feedback from owners, I don't plan on watching a lot of tv, but I think it would be nice. Please no suggestions on products as I plan on buying an HP Express Digital/Analog card (I've read that it will work). How would having a tv tuner work out in a dorm? I'll have one roomate.

    I'm also considering buying a tablet pad, I'm not a real "artist" but I do enjoy doodling and I plan on studying engineering (I wouldn't use it for engineering though, would I?, isn't all design done in CAD?). Also I was considering using it in lectures to draw diagrams and such. I'd like to hear some feedback, preferably from people who have owned them. I'll be going to college this fall and bought a T61 about a week ago.

    Thanks,

    John

    What are your initial impressions of your T61?

    I bought it about a week ago but the estimated ship date isn't until the 7th. I'm in the same boat as a lot of folks. I can't wait though.
