340354 2005-04-01 12:08:00 Those DSE models only have the ATI Mobility Radeon 9200 with 32MB VRAM video chipset,its all about the balance.... Metla (12)
340355 2005-04-01 12:10:00 Unbeatable value for money?

Not if its bought for gaming,in which case its money wasted.

Though it does depend on what games you want to play,Anything released in the last year would kill it.

340356 2005-04-01 12:10:00 Price sure has come down during these few years.I remember price of laptop was very expensive a few years ago Ninjabear (2948)
340357 2005-04-01 12:11:00 The video uses Vram is that better then DDR sdram?
I'll probably be using to play sims 2, doom 3,world of warcraft.The latest games

340358 2005-04-01 12:13:00 Vram just means its dedicated video ram rather then stealing system ram as most intergrated video does.

9200 won't give good performance with any modern game.Period.

340359 2005-04-01 12:20:00 Games was only part of the brief, as an all round laptop for everyday use it is unbeatable on price,

Granted the 9200 Radeon is not the best and will not handle the very latest games very well, However it will play plenty of recent games to a playable standard

Bearing in mind it has a 15.4 wide screen display (the other part of the brief was watching DVD movies) built in card reader etc etc and the little matter of costing around $500.00 less than the other models.
