Hi

As the thread says. I am considering trading my REV A 17" PB for the new 12" PB with 768Mb RAM and a superdrive. I would appreciate the extra portability.

My only concern is while the 12" PB has a newer Geforce FX card over the Geforce MX card found in the 17, it has less Video DDR memory. Will this mean that games will not run as smoothly on the new 12" PB, as they do right now on my 17" PB ?

The main games I play are mohaa and spearhead and will be getting C&C generals in the future as well

Advice would be appreciated

Regards
