TS, u still need suggestion?? i am a S42 user also...very first batch..proccesor only 2.26Ghz..but trust me, for the money u spend, it would be very worthy...

if u wanna look at performance, click on my siggy and u'll be quite a list of games being benchmarked, i recall playing crysis warhead in ultra high texture with mid shader and low shadow, can get around 30fps..other games like burnout paradise i can easily get 50fps++ with near maximum settings..

sadly, it does get hot easily, after all, it's a 14.1'' laptop, not much space for air flow..ur card might hit 80C++ or even 90C++ in graphic intense games..but dun worry, mine is one years old, and still kicking ass, and i heard this card is meant to take high temperatures

and if u want longer battery also, just switch to intel GMA. I get around 2-3 hours with max brightness watching HD movie...and WiFi also is turned on i remember...
