    I remember when i was buying this laptop there was alot of debate over the memory size of the GPU, most people thought it was 128mb but it turns out its only 64mb, with the new ati clock and pcmark05 both show the local memory as being 64mb. This would explain why the SZ seems to get higher 3dmark05 scores.

    Only 64MB dedicated? Ick, that's no better than my gF4-mx440 in my old machine.

    The FE drops another place on my list... :(

    I remember reading somewhere that the vram in the SZ was 128 dedicated and up to 128 shared. Was that talking about being able to switch between intel intergrated 128 and gfx card 128 or is the card dedicated 128 plus up to 128 shared?
