Does anyone have experience running SolidWorks on Fujitsu's LifeBook N3010? I has an ATI Mobility RADEON 9000 with 64 MB of dedicated video memory which looks tempting, considering the $1399 price for this notebook. Thanks Fred

I use an acer 800lci centrino with the ati 9000. I also was a little sceptical about ati, but it works without problems now. I had a problem with locking op the whole system in sw 2003(remove battery to restart) . i downloaded the newest drivers and now everything works great.
