Also, you were saying about creative stuff, if you're modelling using 3dMax or Maya, make sure you have a decent graphics card with decent amount of VRAM (RAM that solely 'belongs' to the graphics card, laptop graphics cards often share the system memory), but it's not nearly as important as games generally. Though I guess if you're sculpting landscapes at a time with loads of details etc, then go for the best card you can
Thanks Quintessence. It's interesting to hear that there actually is a use for those 2GB graphics cards!
