    Hmm...last time I checked your laptop's gaming performance is on par with mine. You saying that your laptop is as slow as mine?

    Well, I finally got my new laptop, and I must say that I am extremely impressed. The whole notebook feels solid and looks, in my opinion, pretty sleek. I installed Crysis, and I am proud to say that I have everything turned up to High (with the shaders, but not very high as this is only a mid-range card) with framerates between 20-30 fps. That's quite a step up from my desktop which was getting about 5-10 fps on all LOW. I was impressed with the power of the laptop; I was only expecting medium and low on most to all settings. I also saw that it actually uses HyperMemory which caches another 512 MB for a grand total of 1 GB of graphics memory. Why would anyone on Earth ever use that much graphics memory? Damn chip can't process that much info anyway. I haven't had a chance to OC it yet, but I will do it soon.
