It has an S-video out and a SVGA out. Will this work with Hoster? I am still wondering about the legal issue of coping Sound Choice to Hoster. I own all of my CD+G's, so I don't feel like I am stealing.

Any help would be great,

Call CDW and see if they can tell you any more about the ATI Radion Mobility in their Laptop. I don't know that it has to be a 9600 model card, and I'm sure they don't have a plug-in card, but rather have it built-on the motherboard. We offer an RF converter for the S-video output to convert to a TV signal if you need that. Please note that I AM NOT recommending this Laptop system. We offer only what we have found to be the best for use. I believe that Dell offers several models that some users have run Hoster on. I would feel better about your going with DELL than CDW.

As to your fears on the legality of importing/copying your SC discs to the hard drive, read the legal findings that addresses exactly this issue. Both Weslaw and Nexus/Lexus law databases were searched, and the article includes the case references if you want to dig deeper.
