I'm selling off my computer parts and am getting a better laptop since I spend a lot more time on my laptop. I would like to get the best video card I can for this laptop so I can play games like LOTRO, other MMORPGs, and FPS games.

Also should I go with an older faster card for dx9 if I don't want to run Vista for a while or should I just stick with vista and get the 8600M GT?

Oh and are there any newer faster laptop video cards on the horizon?

The cheapest laptop with the 8600M GT is the Dell Inspiron 1520.

The fastest card available is the 7950GTX which is DX9.

My 8600M GT is simply awesome and I can play all my games very smoothly. It does not managed 1440x900 on the highest detail such as Oblivion using it...but I can do 1400x900 medium without a problem.

Aparently there is an 8800 coming out for the laptops, though I do not know when or for how much. There is also aparently a 8700 just released recently, but there is a huge difference in performance between the 7950gtx(256bit) and 8700(128bit). I guess this is just some info if people wanted it.

I'm really debating getting a computer with a 7950gtx or go for DX10.
