    Bit cheaper here though it is with the 1.66GHz Core Duo which won't make much of a difference. I would get the 1 512MB stick of memory and add another after which is usually cheaper. Most games should play on the x1400 though probably not at top settings.

    Yes, it should be able to play most games at medium settings - don't expect to play Oblivion at high settings - I think it should be future proof for another 1.5 yrs. It looks good - if those are the specs that you need and since you got the extended warranty too - don't forget to use the DPA to save 2% and if you can get a $35 off $300 coupon from ebay or one of those sites - should knock it down a little more.
