FDM80 is on a distinguished road

I have a Gateway 600 series laptop. It turned 2 years old just this past month. It has a Radeon 9000 mobility (64mb) on it. I mod my own drivers and have the Cat 4.12's on there for now. I have monopoly and enemy territory for gaming on the go, which is almost never for me but you never know.

The only thing I would ever really want is the ability to upgrade the vid card in my laptop to a DX9 card. I really hope one day vid card upgrades are a normal thing for laptops.

I have a 7500m w64. I am satisfied with it, considering it is 2.5 years old machine. I have problems with some new games where they either refuse to run CM2005, FarCry etc due to pixel shaders or something, and some others that run but so poorly that it is painful, like Doom3 with its amazing 2frames per min. Still, other games Generals, Axis and Allies RTS, RTW, and many many more new games run fine with it. Still, wish I could afford a new one.
