I am looking for a new laptop. I am looking at a Toshiba Satellite that has a 7900GS video card, Core2Duo, 2GB RAM. Looking at the video card sticky... I would take it that I won't have any issues running VDJ 4.1 with this type of setup?
There was another Core2Duo laptop that I was looking at which has an ATI Fire5200 video card. I am not sure what card this is, as it is not listed on the video card sticky. Any insight on how well this card will run?
I have an Athlon 4200+ with a 7600GT on my PC and the trial seems to run ok. But I am looking for a laptop to run this on.

What about a Quadro FX 1500M. How does that compare to the 7900GS? Better? Worse? Same?
Since I mainly deal with NVidia... what Nvidia card does the FireV5200 ATI card closely resemble? Geforce 7300? 6800? etc.

I found this great thread on Notebook Review that discusses the two video cards I am considering.
http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=70782
They say the FireGL 5200 is based on the X1600 ATI, and the Quadro 1500M is based on the 7900GS. So I got my answer there.
But their main complaint is these two chips are not meant for gaming (certain things won't show up in games).
But what about Virtual DJ? Will Virtual DJ be able to utilize these video card's full potential... would the Quadro 1500 perform the same in Virtual DJ as a Geforce 7900? Or will there be a difference?
I have no intent on gaming with the laptop.

Basically that means no1 is willing to take responsibility for the choice you make. The teamers and fellow users will try their best to inform you on the right choice to make.
Best bet in my own opinion is actually testing it fully yourself. If it doesn't work well, return it within the exchange period because your entitled to do that.
Its good to find out the 3d benchmark ratings of cards before purchasing. You always want to be looking in the high end.
