If you can go for the Core 2 duo processors...

As you say if you are getting a laptop at these prices then graphics will be mediocre but will still look pretty.

Since resources are limitied, I would go for Xp, but it depends on your needs/wants.

Go for the single faster card, Sli is variable in effect.
