    I'll lay pretty good odds that it's the same that's in the 6200 - which means onboard VIA video, IIRC.

    Not really suitable for gaming.

    I emailed Averatec for a spec sheet, but they said that they won't have it for about 2 weeks, when they start selling the 6240.

    I'm considering either:
    the 6240 (soon to be available at Circuit City - http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Averatec-Notebook-PC--AV6240-EH1-/sem/rpsm/oid/111095/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do

    and the Sam's Club version of the 6210 - http://www.samsclub.com/eclub/main_shopping.jsp?coe=0&oidPath=0%3a-23542%3a-33761%3a-38929%3a-38935%3a872426&mt=a&n=0&BV_SessionID=_SC_1678456967.1099326990_CS_&BV_EngineID=ccdhadcmmdgmieicfkfcfkjdgoodflh.0

    The only real difference is:

    CC model (6240): Mobile Athlon 64 3000 = $1399.99 (14-day return policy)
    Sam's model (6210): Mobile Athlon XP-M 2400+ = $1099.86 (6 month return policy)

    I'll basically be using it to:
    1) Burn movies/cds
    2) Surfing/emailing
    3) Occassional movie watching when travelling

    No gaming, no multimedia work, no downloading movies/music.

    Which would you recommend?

    Thanks.
