THanks Lew, that's what I thought.

My PC motherboard just fried itself and I'm getting a lot of pressure to go Mac from the Graphic side or our office. I'm going to have to get something to keep working pretty quickly here.

Who's running Chief X3premier an an iMac or MacBook? and what is your Mac cofiguration?
Is it as sharp and fast as a new PC with an i7?
Are my current Chief files fully readable in a Chief/Bootcamp installation?

Been running X3 on my iMac in Bootcamp for 6 months now with no problems. Don't really have anything to compare it to since I've never run it on a PC machine.

Toshiba Satellite P500


I don't see anything wrong with the specs

but I'm also not familiar with that CPU or video card

do a google search on 'toshiba p500 review" and read lots of reviews

I also see the P505 but didn't take time to find out what the difference was

1920 x 1080 screen resolution (HD) could be desirable

if you will be using battery a lot then a 12 cell battery is justified
personally I never use a laptop battery

Too many questions with Mac/Bootcamp to deal with right now, soooo ...
Current PC build out looks like:
ASUS P6X58D-E (up to 24mb ram possible)
i7 930
NVidia GTX 465

I think this is the first mention of trying a GTX4series card in this forum; any other users or comments on the GTX4series? is this a step up from the 200series. The GTX400's are about $250.

(Critics welcome here)

I'm getting ready to order a new system with a GXT 480 1.5GB RAM
along with a i7 extreme 6 core 3.33GHZ
