    I have a question about the graphic card in the SZ notebook. Is the NVIDIA® GeForce® Go 7400 notebook graphics processing unit one of the standard units in the SZ notebook? Because i have tried to customize the notebook, but there is no choice for me to choose. Thanks for the help?

    Yes, the nVidia GeForce 7400 is your only choice. Keep in mind with the SZ you can switch between the 7400 and GMA 950.

    Thanks for the help, as you said, which one is better between the 7400 and GMA 950?

    Unless I'm mistaken all SZ come with both GMA 950 and nVidia 7400.

    950 is when you go into stamina mode (saves energy, prolong battery), 7400 in speed mode (much better graphics, power hungry).

    That is correct. One main feature about the SZ is the dual graphics capability, although you need to reboot in order to switch the graphics gard after flipping the switch- if memory serves correctly.
