The ATi 9000 is a good card already. I still run my MAIN desktop with a Matrox G400 32 MB and it's more than enough for what I need. You need to understand LinuxCertified's market first: 1. they mostly sell on businesses, and 2. there are very few linux games that require anything more powerful than the ATi 9000. With this in mind, the laptop's card is good enough.
>Why would this thing come with a windows key?
Why not? Personally, I would bitch if it wasn't there.
>as dated as an ATI 9000
