    I just talked to sony costumer service, and were told that the GPU (7600) can not handel Vista Primum (128 mb, needs to be 256) so some Nvidia 7400 with 256 are better option, lets say on HP dv6000t, plus the ram on this model is only 533 instead of 677. So that is prety bad

    You got a bum rep on their customer service line. The 7600 will run premium wonderfully for you. The 128MB of RAM will let you run all of the features that it offers.
