Search for a program called Wine, it is like a Windows emulator. It is reported to be a bit choppy with big programs.
Have you installed all the visual effects in Ubuntu Bamhm?
How was the Netword install for you? Did it do it automatically or need some configuration?
I am uninstalling it from this PC as it has problems with the wireless, and i wont be using this when i get mine so there is no need for it.
About the graphics cards, just find the specs online and compare them, or post the links here so our brain boxes can look for you.
