Was hoping you could tell me. Oh well, the search is on. Leaning towards the Lenovo Ideapad with Nvidia.

Works for me however, I have only used XP Pro, never Vista so, can't comment on the Vista OS.

 

IBM as well as Lenovo's customer service is excellent. :roll:

 

Make no mistake, "These are work horses!"
