    Has anyone managed to play this on their m1530 with decent results?

    i played crisis on medium and got a steady 30fps, gpu was over clocked to 600/900, so iam presuming fear2 should come with similar results

    I would say to that without a problem, especialy if you did crysis on it that well. I've got FEAR2 and no probs from the begining on nvidia 8800gtx on full settings. Do however peek accross to nvidia and download and install their just updated driver. Great results! Read up on it's release notes. You could always do the demo as well :)

    you have an m1530 with 8800gtx? i thought they only came with the 8600
    your probably talking about your desktop, but i suppose there isnt a huge difference between the two cards?

    Yes you cloud have been right. m1530 does not have a 8800gtx. but as to judge the game's behavior on max settings, can give a good view of that. Still a great game if ur thinking about.
