Just bought a new laptop. Nothing over the top - just a middle of the road Acer (for working and surfing, and a little bit of hair letting down for when I'm away) for between

Nice nice. Sounds about the lappy that I am going to get.
As for your AI, its your card. First get rid of the standird OEM driver, then go grab the nVidia one. If you still can't get AI to work, just fly with out it, It'll take your frames down more anyway.
Cheers

To be honest, and I know I am going to get killed for this, I would much rather prefer an Apple MacBook laptop to work on and a Windows PC for gaming. I just think it would be cool to have the advantages of both systems.

Thanks Cameron,
Thats the answer I was expecting. I'm not really bothered that its not there - I've only installed it for fun anyway. I was just rather shocked by the performance!

Yea Viper, if you want an Apple, get a $850 Toshiba A105 and install OSX. It will give you a $2500 MacBook pro at half the cost.
Sorry but there is no reason to spend all that money on an Apple.

Isn't it hard to install OSX on a PC though? You have to use an emulator I believe, and you get to access alot of the features a Mac has, like the built in webcam/photobooth, and people who have done it have problems with it detecting DVDs etc. Heres a link I found about it. It's pretty cool actually.

Actually its very easy to install OSX onto a PC. Hac5 did it on a gateway with no problems.

yeah, after doing some more research I found it is actually easy, but you need 2 hdds, NOT a partition apparently. You have to run windows off one drive and OSX off the other.

Exactly, if you don't windows and OSX fight.......a lot.
