    I am Thinking of buying it. I want to know if it will play halo or half life 2 or doom 3. I guess is probably not But maybe it will. I can get the 1210 but its about 500 more. What do you guys think?

    Thanks :)

    It has
    Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T7200 (2.00GHz) 4M L2 Cache, 667Mhz Dual Core, Genuine Windows® XP Professional, SP2, with media, 1.0GB, DDR2-533 SDRAM, 2 DIMMS, 256MB NVIDIA® Quadro NVS 110M TurboCache™, 120GB Hard Drive, 9.5MM, 5400RPM

    The only thing I can add is more ram unless I increase the processor too.

    The graphics card in that system is roughly equivalent to the nVidia 7300. It's not a powerful card by any means, but it should do better than the GMA 950...I'd start with the Intel compatibility list assume you'll be able to play around low-mediumish settings.

    well the Quadro NVS 110M is equivielent to the Nvidia go 7200 maybe 7300 according to Meaks sticky in the gaming section of the forums so it will perform very low at those games if it even starts up at all. Also workstation cards are not meant for gaming so....

    So I guess it will play some of the less demanding games. I am not a power gamer but I have stayed up all night playing halo online a time or too. I just want it to play like my dell 9200 does. It has a 128mb ati 9700.
