    I just had a look at Final Fantasy xi on a M1330 T7500 NVIDIA GPU at highest resolution. Pretty, but would give you a headache with the frame rate it was running at. Sorry can't be more specific about the frame rate - it was a demo in the Dell shop.

    That sounds odd. It meets all the requirements. Maybe the gfx were set too high.

    A message came up that said the screen should be res'd down for better gameplay.

    I kind of expected what I saw, comparing it to what I use now - I play Quake 3 with 2.13ghz centrino with a NVIDIA 6600 256mb GPU - and it doesn't like to be played at the highest settings. I thought the M1330 would give about the same kind of performance (less powerful GPU, but more RAM, and better processor)
