    I'd love to get a toughbook with some semblance of a graphics card. I know they're out there and they are hard to find.
    My CF-28 1000hmz 512ram with a 64meg intel830m graphics gets

    750 points on 3dmark 2001se and i can play Operation Flashpoint with everything turned down to mins. It plays Half Life demo flawlessly but can only muster 3fps with any of the steam half life source installs.

    Just wondering if there is any Toughbook with a good/great card somewhere

    I was looking at the CF74, but there's no review of the updated model. It comes with C2D 7300 2.0GHz, I thought thats the Santa Rosa platform, but on most websites, it lists the chipset as bing 945 instead of 965, so I'm a bit confused on that. And it sports 80GB hard drive, but at what rpm if anyone knows? I take it that the CD/DVD is not the dual layer and its not DVD RW, just CD RW correct?
