    anyone have a 8400m gs card? how content are you with it? i dont believe i need a 8600m gt card..because i really only play blizzard games...which blizzard never sets the bar too high for their games. i really only play WoW and WarCraft 3...and would like to play StarCraft 2...which runs on a modified WarCraft 3 engine.

    Yes, I think in a similar way... Should be enough for star craft 2 but star craft 3 is far enough from now :rolleyes: :p

    Just give another 13 years to blizzard to finish starcraft 3, a new laptop anyone? :rolleyes: :p .

    Btw Rice boy... Im really happy with the 8400gs, isnt a very powerful card but at least runs COD4, Crysis, Assasins Creed and all of those new games at decent framerates, the only issue is the HEAT.

    I have the GS on my M1330 in WoW you will get 60fps no more no less lol

    (you might dip into 58 for a split second in SW)

    I like it but like Mexican Snake said in the M1330 it gets hotzzz
    (copper mod in the mail :) )
