Hello, I am thinking of buying a new laptop, like the hp x1010, nx7000 or maybe toshiba satellite Pro M10. All Hp/Compaq that I'm interested in come with Radeon 9200 videocards, and I think there's only linux drivers for agp gart support. No one has ported the intel drivers. Since ati doesn't make a videocard driver that includes agp gart support, I won't be able to have any 3d acceleration. Toshiba Satellite Pro M10 comes with a Geforce 420 Go video card and I think nvidia drivers may give me 3d acceleration with no major hickups. Am I thinking correctly about these two options? Can anyone suggest other notebooks in the same price range that may be a better choice? :) Finally, anyone using 3d acceleration daily on a centrino laptop? I kind of "need it" for structural molecular biology programs. It's not nice to work with pymol - for example - without 3d acceleration. I don't have any 3d acceleration support on my desktop either and it's a pain to work with... (ati videocard, no nforce2 agp gart support) -- Bruno Miguel Afonso Biological Eng. student.
