I would need it to do presentations. I would buy a Dell Latitude D810 (its video card is an ATI Radeon X600 128MB) or a Dell Precision M70 (that has a NVIDIA Quadro FX Go1400 256MB). Should I have more chance to get a projector to work with the M70 since there's a NVIDIA driver for FreeBSD or not necessarily? Thanks!
