    hey.
    first.... sorry if you dont understand me very well cause I dont speak english (or write),but i will try to do the best.
    I am going to buy my firs laptop ,so I hope someone can help me decide what laptop is the best.I am an architecture student so I use sofwares like cad , 3d studio , photoshop and i like to play the latest games.
    these are my 3 posibilities:
    1.-r3000t dedicated graphics series (custom)
    .intel pentium 4 3.2 ghz
    .512 ram ddr sdram
    .60 gh hd
    .64 mb ati mobility tareon 9600

    2.-zx5000 series
    .intel pentium 4 3.2 ghz
    .512 ram ddr sdram
    .60 gb hd
    .64 mb ati mobility radeon 9200

    3.-zd7000 series
    .intel pentium 4 3.2 ghz
    .512 ram ddr sdram
    .60 gb hd
    .128 nvidia geforce fx 5700

    two more things:
    -the batery life is not a escencial factor to me,cause i am not a traveler.
    -I think the price and performance change youst for the video card (ati radeon 9600(64 mb) or ati radeon 9200(64 mb) or nvidia fx 5700 (128 ram)) so i hope you can tell me what diference they have or simply which is the best and alow me get the best performance for the programs i tell you before.

    tranks you .

    Out of those graphics cards the Nvidia FX 5700 with 128 mb is the best by far. If money isn't a problem, I'd go with the zd7000 series. By the way, for future reference, normally you would post a question like this in "Hardware"

    Good things come in small packages.
