    I was wondering if their was a thread on this message board about gaming strictly on the xps m1530? If not then i guess post up games you enjoy playing on the xps m1530 and how well they run.

    For me Im running Diablo 2 on MAX settings!!!

    My system hasn't come yet, but I just hope my 2.5 T9300 with my 8600m DDR3 card will be able to run Crysis on medium settings with atleast 35 fps (and maybe a couple things on high)...

    Probably going to be out of luck. You'll get that if you OC the card, probably, but not on stock settings.
