Almost every no-U has only 128MB. That and the speed increase in the U's are the main reasons I recommended them earlier. The 5950 and 5900 are running the NV35 GPU. The differences are in the surrounding electronics and selected GPU/memory chips to run at higher speeds in the 5950. Oh, and all 5950 ...

Not sure about mobiles (your friend should search Intels website for specs for his particular CPU) but a regular P4 would be toast or close to it. A 2.8GHz/133 Northwood is speced to 75dC, a 2.8/200 NW to 69dC and a 2.8/200 Prescott to 73.5dC.

Always go for a U model if possible. I'm quite happy w/ my 5950U (Gainward) but that thing's not cheap. My understanding is that the 5700 gets you the most bang per buck.

Access violations w/ D3 1.4 are (unfortunately) quite common so you will probably have to live w/ one once in a while. XP BSODs are another story, there should be none when playing D3 (I'm using XPP and haven't had one since I installed my system). Most likely a driver for one of your hardware ...
