yeah - i'd stay well clear of sager if i was you. the card was a quadro fx 1400 and the laptop was a sager np9750 and it was a pain from day one. I called a couple of places today and they said that they couldn't install a video card and it would have to be sent back to the manufacturer. considering i spent $800 on it just over six months ago, i really don't want to reward them again and would rather just put the money towards a new laptop and hopefully some piece of mind. at the moment i'm looking at the compaq 8710w: https://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/us/en...9-3544136.html it looks pretty nice and seems to get good reviews. just not sure about vista and maya 7, though i guess i could always install xp if vista is not too hot.
