[dba-Tech] Notebook Asus K95VM Ci7-3610M or ... ?

Hi Jim --

Thank you for your note.
Yes, that notebook look good - the only issue I'm worried about is that it has not very advanced graphic card (NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 630M with 1GB DDR3 VRAM): I do not plan to play modern/any PC games on that notebook but I do plan to use it for Windows Phone development. And Windows Phone development requires a good graphic card for WinPhone emulator to work in all modes - I'm not sure if NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 630M with 1GB DDR3 VRAM is good enough for WinPhone emulator. Do you/anybody here know how to check is the subject notebook graphic card (NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 630M with 1GB DDR3 VRAM) good enough for WinPhone emulator? - are there anywhere minimal requirements for graphic cards listed - minimal requirements to run WinPhone 7 and WinPhone 8 emulators in all modes?

Thank you.
