I'm getting a new laptop, and have come across this sony laptop which features the below specs:

Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 Processor, runs on Genuine Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium operating system, and incorporates 3GB DDR2 RAM along with a huge 250GB hard drive

"The Sony VGN-FW11E laptop computer measures 384 x 261 x 29mm with a weight of 3.1kg and features a 16.4 inch X-black widescreen display, DVD Super Multi double layer optical drive, ATi Mobility Radeon HD 3470, 3 USB ports, Firewire connection, wireless enabled."

It's got intel core duo 2.4 ghz; what bugs me though is that the graphics card only has 256mb dedicated memory; though i know i can add more via more ram.

Do, do you think it's got a chance of getting frame rates of around 25-30 on fsx, or is it worth looking for a more powerful PC on the graphics card front?

Also, are ATI graphics cards all that good for FSX, or are NVIDIA ones generally better?

Many thanks for your answers!!
