One last word to GFX drivers. I don't know if
there are lots of Updates for the ATI driver on the
Windows Part.

Sometimes the Notebook Maker
only gives one driver out and then does not update
this driver anymore. But it is possible to mod the Ati
Catalyst Package and so you can always use the latest
Catalyst driver if you want. As the Mobility Chips
are basically the same as on the normal Desktop
Cards, they only have less pipelines and have
a slower takt to save energy.

The mod is easy
a programm just changes the driver names from
for example RADEON 9600 to Mobility RADEON 9600.
