Comments:

• NVIDIA Quadro FX 2500M is a professional video card for notebooks from NVidia It is based on 7900GTX. The application performance is very good due to special professional drivers (3D rendering, CAD), but the gaming performance is weaker. With modded drivers, it should work like a 7900GTX. It is part of the best performance class 1 of mobile graphic cards.
• Nowadays, meanwhile the 17 inch display size is a more frequently offered standard format for desktop-replacements. The DTR-Laptops can't be carried easily, need much current, but on the other side texts can be read easily and high resolutions are no problem. DTR mainly are intended for stationary usage on desks, where the weight and the energy need are unimportant.
