My laptop runs a 256MB NVIDIA and I've been able to play all the modern games that say "minimum 512MB" on decent settings - So thumbs up NVIDIA.
In any case, a 2GB graphics card will be kick-ass for pretty much all games regardless of the brand (though stick with the known brands, like the one you listed).

Thanks, will do! I agree, 2 gigs is pretty much all I need. I gotta worry about the budget though, I'm penniless as a dog right now.
