    This laptop apparently has a NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GS graphics card with 1GB GDDR3. In the reviews, one person said it came with GDDR3 and one person said it came with DDR2.

    I can't post links (I'm a noob :rolleyes: ) so go to Best Buy's website and put "9050055" into the search box.

    I'm just posting this in case anyone's interested. :)

    I was just at BB in Madison last night. They have 2-14" Asus and both were $850. 1 had a 9300M GS and the other had the 9600. I was looking for a 15.4" so I got the dv5-1004nr which they have listed on their website at $950, but I got it for $750. :) Works for my needs.

    Yes, that one.

    Well, thanks for the help, but I know that. I couldn't post a link to an outside website because I have less than 15 posts.
