Well, I've been looking for a good laptop for college. I want something good, so I found an HP Pavilion laptop that has pretty much everything.
HP Pavilion dv9700t:
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.5GHz
3GB DDR2 RAM
250GB HDD (1 drive, 1 empty bay)
17" Screen (1650x1080 or something like that)
Windows Vista Ultimate 64 Bit Edition
nVidia 8600GS (256MB I think)
TV Tuner w/ Media Remote
However, I also want to use Ubuntu Linux and Windows XP on the computer (triple boot it) because of compatibility issues with Vista. Do these components work in all 3 of these OS'es? Also, does the 8600GS fully support DX10 on Vista? How well would games (Half Life 2, Crysis [just for comparison], etc) run on this computer?
