What laptops are you looking at? I bet they are the same card.

Half life 2 wouldn't run very well on those cards.

You can get a Compaq V4000T for $850 with a X700.

it was on dell.com... the upgrade for the X300 hypermem was only $35 more while the PCI-express version was $100 more :eek:

and is that Compaq V4000T a good laptop?

My mistake, I would go with the PCI-E X300 128mb out of the two. The 'Hypermemory' model doesn't have dedicated VRAM, while the other one does.

I don't have a Compaq V4000T, so I can't say anything specific, but the specs and the price look good.
