    I would be worried that the 1.8Ghz CPU wouldn't be up to gaming and i'm not sure about that graphics card. I doubt Crysis it would play well on it.

    I don't know about World of Conflict or Bioshock, as I don't own either of those games and the minimum specs are useless. I'm also not familiar with the graphics card; I believe it would suffice for general use light gaming, but I wouldn't count it as really being "good" for gaming.

    I don't really think that'd be to wise getting an extensa for gaming.
    Why not look at some other models like asus or dell?

    I worked a lot on Extensa 5610G (the chassis is the same) and my friend has it. Build quality is excellent for that price and processing is excellent, too. New ProFile TMs and Extensas have very good build quality (Aspire Gemstone is far away... i.e. lower build quality) ;).

    Don't expect miracles, but HD 2600 is strong enough (not for playing newest titles on high but for lower settings is ok).

    None, to be honest. You'd be better off going for other manufacturers such as Dell, Toshiba or Alienware.
