    hi
    bought this notebook from the dell outlett,$618 total..

    core 2 duo 1.6ghz- 256mg 8600gt

    will this play cyrsis,, i am thinking it will at low settings

    my hp dv6000t will not, it will , but its very slow and chopping, it has pent dual core 1.73 and go 7400

    my thinking is that the dell should have a lot more horsepower, due to the video card... night and day difference,,,and the core2 duo should be quicker too, even if its only 1.6 ghz

    It will play Crysis at least on medium settings on 1024x768 with good framerates. Some people have tried setting shaders and shadows on low and everything else in high, they get the same perfomormance.

    There are lots of info in the gaming section.
