More Information

hey guys, i asked this once already but i didn't get much of a response. I am in the market looking for a notebook that can handle

autoCAD, rhino 4.0, maxwell, v-ray, photoshop, and illustrator

and here are some of the video cards in a Dell LATITUDE D380 but i am also looking at other notebooks

128MB NVIDIA® Quadro NVS 135M™
256MB NVIDIA® Quadro NVS 140M™

and then some HP graphics cards
NVIDIA Quadro NVS 320M graphics, with 256 MB dedicated video memory (512 MB TurboCache)
Microsoft DirectX 10 support

NVIDIA Quadro FX 570M graphics, with up to 256MB dedicated memory (512 MB TurboCache)
ATI Mobility FireGL V5600 graphics, with up to 256 MB dedicated memory (512 MB HyperMemory)
Microsoft DirectX 10 support
OpenGL support

ATI Mobility Radeon HD2600 graphics, with 256 MB dedicated video memory (512 MB HyperMemory)
Microsoft DirectX 10 support

NVIDIA Quadro FX 1600M graphics, with 512 MB dedicated video memory
NVIDIA Quadro FX 3600M, with 512MB dedicated video memory - coming soon
Mcirosoft DirectX10 support
OpenGL support


at the FX 1600 it got too pricey so I don't think I can afford that. i want to stay under 1200 at least cause I am paying everything out of my own pocket
i was wondering if anybody has any inputs or where I can find more information about these video card and see which ones are better.

I guess it doesn't have to be Quadro's, but people have told me they are intended for workstation graphic cards which satisfy my needs. Will a nvidia 8600 be better than some of the 256 Quadro cards?

please let me know if anybody has any other suggestion, what brands or which laptop i should get.
Thanks guys!
