There is a good deal at Office Depot on a compaq R3000Z laptop for 599 after rebate. It comes with either a Geforce 4 420/440 go (32/64mb dedicated) and I'd upgrade the memory from 256 to 512 and add a burner. Im not sure which one it has cause I haven't been up there yet to check it out. Are these decent graphics for a laptop and will it run some of the modern games. Not Doom 3 / Farcry, but pretty much everything else? Oh yea, and how do they compare to a fx5200 go? Thanks
 
I had an older Toshiba laptop with 440 GO and it played things like Return To Castle Wolf pretty darn well:)

Yeah, my old Dell Inspiron 8200 had the GF4 440Go and it played a lot of games OK. Mine overclocked to GF4 460 Go speeds.

The difference between the 420 Go and 440 Go is that the 420 Go has a lower core speed and only 64-bit memory. The 440 Go has a higher core speed and 128-bit memory.
