How does one determine if a graphics card will be good enough? I'm thinking of buying one of the new cheap windows laptops available at Best Buy.

Although I pinged Matt off group, both BestBuy and Microcenter.com have refurb specials. As in everything computer and Internet regarding cheap, fast, and reliable, pick two! The HP i5 and i7 laptops with Beats audio are media platforms with HDMI output. W8 refurbs are showing up with 12GB of DDR3, 1TB HDDs, etc. I suspect those may be from returns where people gagged on W8 or it wouldn't run their proprietary software package (TaxWorks 2012 for example).

will Condor run well on Windows 8? And what about joysticks and W8? From what I'm reading most are using OS's earlier than W7.

I would email Frank Paynter(TA)...he knows this stuff really well. He is a friend from Caesar Creek...

I'm sure he will be happy to help
