it really depends on what you need to keep on there in terms of the hard drive. as for the graphics cards, not sure personally but the GTX is considerably better
Help me buy a laptop :)

Alright for the Hard drive: at home i currently am only using about 60 Gb of space however once i upgrade from that geforce4 ti4600 and 512RAM things may change in terms of what my computer can support 
, On a avergage how much space do you guys use?
At for the video i am clueless on what to choose as of right now...

Yea, I have never seemed to need over 60 gigs either so that decided the hard drive now i just got the damn video card to ponder about...
When it askes about the internet IU want can i just select none and use my home internet right? (there not installing anything that enables the laptop to be compatable on the net right?)

I have a 500 gig hard drive (actually 465 gigs) and I have 316 gigs free) and I just built my computer in august but I have a lot of videos on it
and for the internet thing you can just select none and use your internet u have now

i linked to this site before, but this should help give a comparison between the two: http://www.notebookcheck.net/Mobile-Graphics-Cards-Benchmark-List.844.0.html
internal is way better than external. pack as much space as you think youll need internally, then get an external if you think you need it.

Thanks for the link.. dont know how i missed it :S
I agree internal hard drives are much beter, but i think that things like videos belong on a external
right. i have a 120gb internal, and i was running low till i unloaded all my movies and torrents to my spiffy new external HDD.
as far as the GPU goes:
core speed:
go 7900 gs- 375
go 7950 gtx- 575
thats all according to the site i linked.

why don't you look at alienware?
they sell a c2d lappy thats better equipped with no custom parts bought for cheaper than the lappy your trying to put together fyi. My computer was 1600 and it screams, i have not had any lag in any games with all settings max, thats with bf2142, stalker, wow, etc.
just my 2 cents

alienware is owned by dell, but that makes no diffrence. C2D = core 2 duo. its a dual core processor made by intel. by the way, why dont you post all the specs for the computer so we can drool.
