    Halo2 ---------Yes Perfectly
    CSS ----------- Yes perfectly
    The orange box-------Yes perfectly
    Battlefield 2142 -----------Yes perfectly
    Gears of war ------------Yes but not perfectly , since the game has big issues with the code, and it has many stutter problems, but you still can enjoy it very well, and i mean with almost perfect experience.

    And welcome to the Forums and the Alienware CLub, if you need any help just tell me :D

    All of those will work on high except maybe Gears of War, but the unreal engine 3 is very well optimised so it just might but probably not at native resolution on the 9750 (1900x 1200). Cannot say for sure about BF2142 since the game is not optimised as well, but according to me it should run.

    the only problem people are complaining about is the build quality. everything else is basically fixed.

    yea that looks like a pretty solid gaming machine. most game developers don't make games too graphic intensive anymore anyways.
