    I'm wondering about certain aspects of the notebook. I know, this laptop wasn't designed for gaming. It's more of a multimedia notebook, which is why bought it. Though, I'm also trying to get some games for PC. Youtube videos show this laptop runs very good latest games, like Street Fighter IV, Resident Evil 5, Call of Duty: WaW-MW-MW2, Far Cry 2, Unreal Tournament III, etc.

    But I'm wondering how well will this laptop works with games like RTS or heavy physics games like Red Faction: Guerilla or Star Wars: TFU (Released only 10 days ago)?

    I know, but seeing how large the thread gets and how many people post so many different topics and there was also a gaming thread with the 1640 and it got quite large when it was really just some questions and issues.

    So for the sake of the thread, I didn't post it there. I know it would be better if it had been test properly on the machine but I'm also interested in rational responses though practical would be better.

    This I ask because the only change between 1645 and 1640 (besides new MB layout) is the processor and that should make a difference on RTS and Physics games wouldn't it?
