    you can run all of them; but the setting not at the fullest for some of the game mentioned.

    CnC3 Maxed
    COD4 Maxed
    CoH Maxed
    Crysis Medium

    Never played CoH or SupCom on my M1530, and probably never will.

    You CAN run and play Crysis on Max, but it will be too slow for it to be playable.

    I have a quick question about this subject. When someone says Maxed does that mean just to the native resolution or native resolution with every setting on their highest?

    im quite sure you cant play the newest games maxed out but on lower settings, you should max out normal new games like cod4 i guess...

    thanks for advice, repped.

    You can forget maxing out any of those games on a WUXGA 1920x1200 if your playing native.

    When I say maxed out, I am referring to the 1440x900 native resolution.
