Thank you kindly for the answer. I had heard Nvidia worked better with SL but being as the list of approved cards from LL was so old I wanted to be sure.
Darn you and your find of great computer right at budget online. Spent hours hovering over that buy button when I don't even have the money just yet. Thank you very much for your answer, I may go in that direction.
With Tax refunds rolling slowly but surely I shall be upgrading from my Gateway NV59C i3 Intel graphics to something that performs hopefully much better. I will have about $1500 to spend on this and so come asking the all knowing community for guidance. It must be a laptop for portability reasons and I would prefer something from a physical store such as Fry's or BB though if the product is worth it I wont deny anything. While I don't have high hopes for playing on ultra settings all day I would enjoy being able to jump to it for a picture or two. Thank you all in advance for any positive input.
