I'm thinking of getting the ASUS M3N but im kind of worried about the Embedded 855 GM internal Gfx ... does anyone have an M3N that can tell me whether they can watch DVD's or play games on the M3N? Does the screen skip or does i run smoothly?

Any additional info in the M3N would also be appreciated! Thanx!

I have an M2N, which is pretty similar hardware wise to the M3N. The intel extream graphics GPU does a good job of running DVDs, and can handle a bit of lite gaming. For eg I've played call of duty on it without to many problems (800X600) medium-low settings, it only just ran BF Vietnam, and I doubt you will get games like far cry to run on it at all.

So should you get a M3N? only if your after a good portable notebook for office applications, that can handle DVDs.
If high end gaming is your thing look to the M6N, A2 or L5 series.
