    Hi All,

    Since the Vaio C series laptop does not have the geforce graphics, does Vista run ok with the onboard intel 950 chipset? Would Vista run better if the graphics were powered by geforce?

    Btw, are there any major flaws with the Vaio C series?

    TIA

    Vaio C do have a GeForce 7400Go on board. Check on your own region for Sony VAIO :)

    The C series in North America only have the GMA 950 graphics. Those sold in Europe and Asia also have the option for Geforce 7400 graphics.

    Don't worry, the GMA 950 runs Vista Aero 100% perfectly. :)

    yea the 945 runs aero just fine on the SZ so i would assume the 950 would as well.
