    hey everyone, im still wondering if i should add the gfx card on the m1330 i plan to buy.

    i dont think ill play extreme games,
    prolly games like cs, diablo2, ext..

    what you guys think?
    is it worth the extra 100$ and the loss of some battery power?

    Isn't your desktop providing you the gaming performance you need? :p
    If you WILL be gaming on the M1330, you might as well get the 8400 unless your on a budget or if battery life is THAT important.

    You will need a 8400m to play CS:S

    for CS1.6 and diablo2 a x3100 will do fine
