Bobo:
highly recommend the graphics card
just bought an 8600GT with 256MB DDR3 memory for my desktop and it handles anything I chuck at it
Indeed the 8600M GT is a good option for notebooks but it isn't exactly the same as the 8600 GT you've got, and I've got, for a desktop. Slightly differing specification but will certainly handle almost everything thrown at it.....unless you're a laptop owning, Crysis at full resolution playing, hardcore gamer that is of course.
This is certainly a good deal tho and a good spec using the newest 45nm processors.
Detailed specs for anyone interested
