    I've played MW2 and it seems to run great with everything cranked up. Only noticed a bit of lag and framerate slow down once or twice during heavy action, but I think maybe it coincided with an AVG scan or backup or somet. Other than that it looks thundersex and plays smooth as hell. The fan does come on and can be kinda loud, but not a hinderance. Haven't played more than maybe 45 mins at a time so far.

    For me it's not playable in full res. (1920x1080) but completelly smooth in 1280x700 with everything cranked up. But I have to play on the battery only because of the throttling issue.

    The RGB. I've not played MW2 on my PS3 yet, but on the 1645 it easily looks better than MW1 did. I also played DragonAge for a minute but wasn't feeling it, it also looked amazing. Same with Left For Dead. I've got The Saboteur and Borderlands that I'll try and load up when I get time, but I'm imagining those probably look just as good.
