I read many thing about vista and sl and many forums is about gefroce 8600 and 8800.
The notebook i wanna buy has the Geforce 9500m videocard.
Do anyone know if i can play sl on this videocard?

Vista isn't so bad with SL. Vista 64 is a little hard to find a good video driver that works well, but they are out there.........many use Vista 64 with no problems.

nVidia makes 64 bit versions of all of their Vista video drivers. As does AMD. As does Intel.

In fact, to be WHQL certified, there must be a 64 bit version of the driver available.

But do anyone know if the geforce 9500 is ok with sl because i look op the site and only see the numbers 8500, 8600 and the 8800.

It's unrealistic to expect any company to keep up with every single hardware component that comes out and speicifically say that one will work or not. The card versions you on the web site are cards that LL has texted and found that they do work........so they tell you that. The 9500 series is pretty new on the market.............I doubt it's been texted yet by LL (heck, it may never get tested). There have been threads and posts concerning that card and evidently it works fine because quite a few forum folks have it it attest to that fact.

I would guess it would work very well. You might have to search for the best driver but you might have to do that with one of the ones tested too.
