Ok. Thanks for the help!

Ok. Thanks.

Just a tiny little question.

I see on Brothers in Arms : Road to Hill 30 it says:

Supported Video Cards at Time of Release:

* ATI® Radeon® 8500/9000/X series

* NVIDIA® GeForce? 4/FX/6 series (GeForce 4 MX not supported)

*Laptop models of these cards not supported.*

Should I worry about this? They won't be going out of their way just to make sure it won't work on a mobile chipset do they? Isn't there always a way to go around this?

Don't worry about this, not sure why they said that.

Your go6800 will do do just fine, unless they exclude laptop GPU's from the game (ie check PCI-ID's)

The only difference with the go6800 Ultra version are the clock speeds.

They are both exactly the same GPU's, but the Ultra is clocked much higher and goobles MUCH more power as a consequence.

You should (not tested yet) be able to fit an Ultra in to the 9300 as they are the same internally just differennt GPU's.

The only difference seems to be the 9300 has a 90w power adaptor and the XPS2 has a 130w (68w just for the Ultra)

I have not tested or heard this is possible, but as soon as the ultra becomes available as a spare part some one will no doubt try it.

Might be a good upgrade in the future.

One thing they also do, is limit what drivers you can use on some games, you should be able to find work arounds and use older drivers, but some games require with the latest patch that you use the latest nvidia driver, for example.

Since you can get every single officially released Nvidia driver from here to run on your laptop, and since your card has full DX 9.0c support, not to mention it being very fast, you should have no problem.

If you did, 3Danalyzer can make the game think you have a desktop GF 6800 card, or something. (official site here)

Hope this info is usefull....
