[mythtv-users] Slightly OT - Best notebooks (particularly) graphics card for MythTV/linux

[David Whyte]

I am in the market for a notebook and have been doing my research on the net 
and around the stores.

I have a pretty mean set of criteria (Sonama, Pentium M/Centrino, bluetooth, 
15.4 (1200x800) screen, etc), but the major one is that I would like it to 
(at least) dual boot linux and hopefully run as a mythfrontend. 

I am leaning towards an Acer Aspire 1691, which comes with an ATI Mobility 
Radeon X700 with 128MB onboard video ram, but I gather than nVidia is a 
better supported card under linux. I know you don't need anything quite as 
hard as a 128MB card for myth, but I would like to play the odd game now and 
again.

What do you folks reckon is the better way to go?

Dave
