    i have few questions regarding new FZ

    1) i see it has nvidia 8400GT video card option. what's the memory of the video card? (including benmark will be great)

    2) max pixel that monitor can display (1680x1050), (1440x900)?

    2) difference between FZ 190, 190E, 190N, 190 E/B

    3) battery life of Standard Capacity Lithium-ion Battery (BPS8) and battery life of Large Capacity Lithium-ion Battery (BPL8)

    4) does Large Capacity Lithium-ion Battery (BPL8) stick out as other laptops?

    5) does it support 64 bits? i'm thinking of installing vista ultimate 64 bits

    6) does it support SATA hard drives?

    The HARDWARE does indeed support 64 bits, its just that Sony does not provide the drivers. And who can blame them, the market for the 64 bit version of Vista is MINUSCULE right now. There is a thread here about how all of the drivers can be found except for the sound card (which apparently worked with generic drivers) and the modem (not a big loss).
