    well, my E1505 with the x1400 has been running BF2 on High settings with only shadows turned off (cause i feel thier pointless to have on) and I haven't had any lag or stutter, perfect performance as far as I've seen.

    What games did you want to run? The X1400 is powerful enough to run today's games. Go over to our Gaming Forum and see what people are saying. Be sure to use the Thread Search function (upper right corner).

    i mean, if u planned on getting an x1400, you should know its a midgrade card. its a decent card and can play most of todays games at high. i think its a good value as long as your not a heavy gamer

    The games I usually play are the ones listed on taht benchmark page.

    If games run fine, why does that page say they run at low FPS?

    Another question, how much does Dell usually charge you if you want to return a laptop?
