You really should try and find a laptop without shared memory first of 
all.  Most laptops will not let you specify how much memory to allocate to 
the video card, and it's not a question of the amount of RAM you have 
anyway.  The problem, is that it chokes the CPU buss, so you can have a 
ton of avaiable memory and still have performance issues if you're using a 
laptop with shared graphics memory.  Not all laptops have this, typically 
only the cheaper ones.

If you want a computer to use at DJ gigs, I highly recommend a laptop for 
space saving reasons if nothing else.  I've yet to be in a DJ booth that 
would actually have enough room for a rack mount PC and LCD screen.  Where 
as a laptop you can place right on top of a standard turntable if need be 
(this is what I do BTW).

Further i checked out some Notebooks. Seems like most of the 
manufacturers use shared VideoRAM lately and rEalm advised that they 
aint got at all for audio proposals. Lets say that the Notebook have 
512 MB of RAM, if i dedicate 16 RAM to the VideoCard, is there still 
danger of Dropouts or whats the problem with shared RAM? I didnt want 
to replace my desktop PC, i like to use it for DJ proposals and some 
out of studio recordings.
