Ok. Good choice. Cheap and it rocks. What I find funny is when you open the box it says:

WARNING!

DANGEROUSLY AWESOME GRAPHICS

And it really stands up to its word.

Some new laptops have upgradeable graphics, but 99% can't be upgraded.

Urgh, whatever you do do NOT buy an FX5200. It's slower than a Geforce 4 Ti4200, and that was mediocre a freaking year ago! By all means, buy a 9600 Pro or XT, or FX 5700 Ultra. Heck, better yet spend an extra $30 or so and get a Radeon 9800SE, that'l be more than enough to keep Halo and other new games running nice and smooth.
