Quadro isn't really designed for the home user. Also if you mean gtx285 go with that, it's more powerful than the 280

or take 470 and 480 the new best nvidia card

I am still in planing stage.
its 3 month left to buy i might buy a lower Ram Laptop to Reduce the price Smile

Any ways , may i ask a question? Does GTX285 Works Good on Dolphin? i mean yes i saw the answers but will it give me preformence issues or it ALL Depends on the processor?

yeah, But it's definitely overkill. You don't need that good of a graphics card just a good cpu

I will reduce a ram a bit to 4 Giga.
the whole purpose of getting a powerful notebook is that i want some thing easily portable since i will be traveling twice this year and some thing that i won't regret buying.

Thanks for Recommending the GTX285 Smile
